Party like it’s 1799, because that’s the year this trowelblazing woman-the “greatest fossil hunter ever known”-was…

McRib is Back by Jonathan Devis

His teacher told him to take art more seriously… and here is his rebuttal on his final project.

Brilliance. Don’t ever let an art teacher tell you what you need to do to be an “artist”. That’s up to you. This kid fucking rules.

“McRib is Manifest Destiny and the American Dream.”

These rule. This rules. ART!

That fox with the drink certainly has…something.

I can see Camo popping up in the most unexpected places, which will continue to add to its long lasting popularity.

It’s weird that they have those MOLLE tabs on them too. Are they expecting to attach tactical pouches, at some point…?

comicsworkbook:

Behold THE INFINITE CORPSE, a jam comic started in secret over a year ago by Aaron Renier, Nate Beaty and the other cartoonists of Chicago’s comics collective Trubble Club. Based on a combination of Raw’s Narrative Corpse project and Scott McCloud’s idea of the “infinite canvas,” it’s a kind of exquisite corpse comic focused around the skeleton Corpsey. There are already 200+ cartoonists who’ve participated (Art Spiegelman, Alison Bechdel, Pen Ward, Carol Tyler, Ivan Brunetti, Lilli Carré etc etc etc) and now it is open to everyone. So go, read! Contribute! Be a part of this ground-breaking new project!

Here’s a page of ridiculous Hellboy doodles from about a year ago. They were buried in the archives of an old blog… collecting dust. I still like ‘em, so I thought I’d show you guys.

More from Scott Gwynn - how adorable are these Hellboys?

Scott Gwynn hurt his drawing hand so his left hand is picking up the slack.

Love the looseness of these drawings. Might be a good exercise to try switching hands every once and while. Forces you to think about shape and over all design rather than surfacey stuff like line and texture.

Hope your hand gets well soon, Scott!

More great work on Scott’s tumblr.

Whoah - that Joker really has something of a Quentin Blake look to it, to my eye.
