Giant Box of Comics Tumbls..Tumb'ls...Tumbls'r...something....

Most everything I post on this blog gets linked to my Facebook, Tumblr, and Twitter accounts. The reverse, however, is not necessarily true. So here's a culling, today of the Tumblr page, of things that might not have made it to any of the other GBoC feeds:

I will never get tired of the abundance of Squirrel Girl art on Tumblr. Glorious!

The amazing comic "Lady Tilda and the Dragon."

I think this is one of my favourite Harleys that I've seen.

A really amazing deconstruction of the art styles on a single page of Squirrel Girl - gives a wonderful perspective on just how much work goes into the art of comics.

Probably one of, if not the greatest Lara Croft cosplay.

A series of really, truly wonderful visionary artwork.


And, lastly, a very important PSA from XKCD on what Freedom of Speech is all about:

I'll hit up the Facebook feed next time.

Artists to Check Out

I love that the advent of the World Wide Web has enabled such a wonderful sharing of art in all kinds of media. But I think the one that I had the least contact with in pre-Internet days was visual art. I am happy to remedy that now.

Benjamin Anders: There's a whole school of visual artists now whose styles grow from having grown up on the Bruce Timm DC cartoon series. I love that style, and I love the aesthetic that has grown from it. Mr. Anders is definitely of that lineage, but he takes it to a very interesting, possibly even more stylized, place. I'm imagining him illustrating a season 3 Buffy the Vampire Slayer comic.

Mel Milton: I know very little about Mr. Milton, but look at this picture. There's a story going on there. It's lovely, and a bit ominous. She's looking at something horrendous that the Joker's doing, isn't she?

Emma Geary: Simply breathtaking art. I don't even know what else to say. Have a look at her blog and her store and marvel at how gorgeous every aspect of every picture is.
