Artists often over cook things. I guess it’s hard to know when a piece is finished when you don’t exactly know how it started and what you’d hoped for.
Cat Sims’ intricate line drawings allow the viewer to play paint-by-numbers with their mind… once they’ve worked out what exactly it is that they’re looking at. Birds [...]

Isn’t it great when you find out that your friends are up to wonderful things. Not that I knew Polly that well, she was more like a friend-of-a-friend when I was in Melbourne. I always thought she was mighty friendly and had a lovely smile and a very geometric haircut – for a girl.
Anyway, [...]

A few weeks back I posted a triptych Tuesday featuring Patricks work – in case you didn’t delve through his site then, I’ve saved you the trouble and bring it to you.

Now this is an odd blog – no name, no contact details – excellence in anonymity. The perfect boob is home to a lady illustrator and graphic designer based in London who publishes (nearly) a doodle each day – and yes, often that doodle is actually a doodle… sometimes it’s a breast.
Each illustration features off-beat [...]

I was just about to press ‘publish’ on a post about Patrick Hruby’s other work, when I stumbled across this on his blog.
They’re working roughs of the cover of his favorite book, Lord of the Flies by William Golding. While just 3 independent mock covers, when placed together they show an evolution of style and [...]
