Leon Ryan’s illustrations are sexy, quirky, and a bit steam punk.

When x-ray pin-ups appeared online earlier this year, few could discern if they were real or illustrations. Now, we know. Apparently they were a marketing ploy by design firm Butter and x-ray monitor manufacturer EIZO. The geniuses behind the artwork are CGI Illustrator Carsten Mainz and Butter’s art director, Nadine Schlichte. See Wired’s article for more.
The artist behind “Batman: Arkham City”?
Thursday, August 26th, 2010
I don’t know who’s behind the art of the Batman: Arkham City video game, but I wish I did. The use of white as the dominant color is refreshing for the Bat. If you know who did it, please send me an e-mail.
Comic book artist Adam Hughes
Saturday, August 21st, 2010
Comic book artist Adam Hughes is well known for his realism, attention to detail, and depiction of anatomy. I’ve chosen to highlight Catwoman as just one of the many characters he’s captured through his tenure working for geektastic corporations, but he’s also worked a on the Tomb Raider and Wonder Woman properties. Be sure to check out his DeviantArt page.

Jam-Wah doesn’t do anything remarkably original or novel, but he does it and does it well. Give props where props are due I say!

Nanami Cowdroy’s pen and ink

Illustrator Nanami Cowdroy’s artwork is rich in Japanese influence and contemporary culture, mesmerizing you with her bold lines and intricate details. Apparently she’s been getting more and more attention lately, but if you find a piece you like, email her assistant for a quote on prices and shipping rates.

Great Russian ads via I Believe in Advertising. I have my doubts whether permission was granted from DC and Marvel however. You never know.
Out of the mouths of babes come Axe Cop
Wednesday, March 24th, 2010
Axe Cop is, without a doubt, the funniest online comic there is. Written by 5-year-old Malachai Nicolle and illustrated by his 29-year-old brother Ethan Nicolle, Axe Cop holds all the charm of a little boy’s comically absurdist and gruesome imagination. We’ve never laughed so much reading a comic.
And if there’s any doubt whether Malachai is the true genius behind the writing, they’ve posted a video of their process.
The illustrations of Guy-Pascal Vallez
Sunday, March 21st, 2010
Illustrator Guy-Pascal Vallez uses high contrast and vibrant old-world colors to evoke a sense of the sacred. Indeed his illustrations almost look as though they are stained glass set in some twisted — yet impeccably cool — church. (Thanks to Gorilla Artfare for featuring his work.)
