art blogs of note

2011-07-07T09:51:00.000-04:00

I subscribe to 100+ art blogs, why not share some with you?

Aurélie Neyret Illustration : Loose, playful cartoon illustration from a talented French girl. Really nice mix of a soft touch, traditional materials and digital painting in photoshop. It's pretty stuff and it has a quirky sense of humor.

Sean "Cheeks" Galloway : American anime style with a solid graffiti feel. If you've seen the Spiderman or Hellboy animated series, then you have seen his character design work.

Charles Santoso : Really fun pencil drawn characters and some painted work. Surreal and plushy like a stuffed animal. Occasionally reminds me of Shaun Tan, but maybe it's because they're both Australian.

Share some of your favorites in the comments. Go ahead. Don't be shy.

This is Tebe.

He's a hungry alien invader who's a bit smaller than a field mouse.

Also, the first thing I've drawn from start to finish straight into the photoshop.

yay to no scanning.
