Drake Brodahl

Inspired by memories of the old Hannah-Barbara cartoons, his paintings have a sense of innocence and the delight that his characters relish in.  With successful art shows under his belt, and some really fun art to appreciate, Drake’s career is something we should all look out [...]

Graham Annable

I find Graham Annable’s artwork disturbing and mischevious. In other words, perfect. He’s a comictician, an animator and a concept artist, he most recently contributed to the movie Coraline. I own several of his graphic novels and am in love with the animation he so freely distributes on youtube. His stories are eerie and poignant. [...]

Becky Cloonan

I’ve been watching this girl’s work for the last 7 years as a member of deviantArt … she went from being a little-known artist to a well-known, amazing comic sensation (who also happens to teach a comic class at SVA!) She’s also just finished a lecture with Nathan Fox at the Society of Illustrators on [...]

Damon Bard and Coraline

If you haven’t seen the stop motion feast that is Coraline 3D yet, I suggest you put your butt in gear and get to the nearest theater. I can’t gush enough about the experience of this film in 3D. Everything is rich in detail and the animation has stepped up considerably since Henry Selick’s earlier [...]
