Lots and lots of images to share, and lots and lots of overflow spilling over into links:
• We linked to this a while back in Daily OCD, but the interview with Lilli Carré at art:21 includes the first glimpse of her sketchbook I've ever seen (along with other art) and daaaang; Lilli also drew Groo the Wanderer for Matthew J. Brady 's theme sketchbook (there's a good one by Jeremy Tinder too) AND did this illustraton for The New York Times AND this amazing letterpress print
• Is Barack Obama losing his indie cred? Drew Friedman shares his illustration for the New York Observer about the President falling out of favor with the hipster demographic, and...
• Aww, Drew Friedman 's portrait of his dad Bruce Jay Friedman for Tablet ; Drew also presents an awesome gallery of Plop! covers by Basil Wolverton and Wally Wood at his blog
• Some Jaime Hernandez record-cover art I hadn't seen before, for the band The Shame Idols (via Love & Maggie )
• This one makes Janice very happy: Jason draws Robert Smith of The Cure — plus film reviews and various other commentary at his Cats Without Dogs blog
• Johnny Ryan draws some of his favorite bullies for Vice and shares some recent commissions on his Flickr page: Gremlin/robot orgy , Star Wars 4-way and fuckball
• Wowee-wow, lookit these vintage Sesame Street illustrations by Jack Davis that were posted by Leif Peng at his Today's Inspiration blog (via Drawn )
VIDEO
• Dig this nifty nutty video that Michael Kupperman made for no particular reason; then when you're done, watch this psychedelic one
• Gary Panter sending this box of dog biscuits to a dog named Gary Panter is probably about the cutest thing you'll read all day
• I think Steven Weissman loses this sketchbook battle with his son Charles — that and his weekly "I, Anonymous" spots and more at his Chewing Gum in Church blog
• Writer Dan Sinker shares the evolution of Paul Hornschemeier 's cover illustration for The F***ing Epic Twitter Quest of @MayorEmanuel — via Paul's blog , where Paul also shares a website header illustration and accompanying interview ; also, about umpteen new entries on his daily sketch blog The Daily Forlorn
• Eleanor Davis illustrates for The New York Times and for Rattler magazine
• Richard Sala presents the original, unretouched artwork for his Kramer's Ergot 7 strip, likewise for a Peculia story , plus some words on "Invisible Hands" — plus a whole lot more on his Tumblr blog
• The first page of a feature graphic story Tim Lane is doing for the Riverfront Times , to appear later this month, plus some of Tim's sketches for the story
• Lorenzo Mattotti previews 3 upcoming publishing projects: a graphic adaptation of Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and a collection of Venice landscapes ; and a collaboration with Art Spiegelman for an upcoming September 11-themed collection from Casterman
• Sergio Ponchione teases his Prof. Hackensack strip and illustrations in the new Linus as well as some recent illustrations of classical composers
• Laura Park 's strip for this month's issue of The Believer , plus a Picasso-esque sketch (and, if you look around, lots of photos of her adorable new puppy)
• Speaking of Laura Park, Derek Van Gieson did this little jam strip with her on a recent visit to Chicago, where they and others also took part in a little Trubble Club action; more from Derek at his These Days I Remain blog
• Stephen DeStefano illustrated this poster for a new Washington, DC staging of Lithuanian Sweetheart , a play written by his Lucky in Love collaborator George Chieffet; also, an album cover illustration , Popeye playing hockey , Popeye playing soccer
• Louis C.K. fan art on Josh Simmons & Wendy Chin 's Quackers blog (I'm not sure who did it — I'm guessing Wendy... and if you don't watch Louie you should) — meanwhile Josh has a couple new doodles on his The Furry Trap blog
• I was going post Renee French 's portrait of the Crimson Bolt (Rainn Wilson's character from the movie Super ) but I decided to go with this more mysterious, less link-baity piece instead
• Sammy Harkham 's 2009 portrait of singer-songwriter Will Oldham for Colors magazine
• From Steve Brodner : Warren Buffett for Harper's (above); the SE ; Planet of the Apes for The New Yorker ; Rome sketchbook ; Keystone XL pipeline protestors ; and feral CEOs
• Sketchbook pages and more sketchbook pages by Anders Nilsen
• Glimpses of 11 binders worth of storyboards for Dash Shaw 's The Ruined Cast
• Views of some rather astonishing cut-out dioramas made by Hans Rickheit for a recent art show
Additionally:
• Colleen Frakes shares some birthday sketch comics done for her by Mome contributors Joe Lambert and Chuck Forsman
• A drawing by Matthias Lehmann for an upcoming book from Le Dernier Cri
• Recent drawings by Andrei Molotiu
• The latest creations and updates from Dame Darcy at her blog
• Frank Santoro is selling his sketches of "black & white boom" cover art, along with the original comics , to help keep him in cash while he works on his new comic — there's a new mythology piece on his Tumblr too
• A bunch of new sketches by Marco Corona at his Il Canguro Pugilatore blog
• From Jim Blanchard , a rollerderby poster and a painting of Tura Satana
• Bird sketches with field notes by Debbie Drechsler
• A performance poster illustrated by Nate Neal
• An image-packed update on various works in progress from Noah Van Sciver
• Roger Langridge sketches Popeye vs. Bluto
At his blog , cartoonist/animator Stephen DeStefano has a sneak peek at his artwork for the upcoming graphic novel written by George Chieffet, Lucky in Love , to be published by Fantagraphics in summer 2010. Stephen's worked on everything from 'Mazing Man to The Venture Bros. , which makes him a-ok in my book.
