Art

For some reasons I had this bookmark in my links for a month and just got around to posting it. Out of Step Arts is a small art agency that offers prints and more from artists including Ming Doyle, Nathan Fox, Toby Cypress, Tula Lotay, Liz Suburbia, Andrew McLean and more. When you're in the mood to just look at a lot of art on tumblr, check out OOSA's print shop. It's all affordable.

Inker Bob Wiacek injured his arm and needs some financial help while he recovers. He's set up a GoFundMe that already reached its goal but I'm sure more help would be appreciated. And Bob deserves it. I worked with him briefly back in the day, and he's a good man and a good artist. Bob will even do a sketch for you if you pledge more than $40 -- I think that's going to take him a long time to fulfill but it's a bargain.

Adrian Tomine, whose collection Killing and Dying is what everyone is going to be talking about this fall, has the cover of this week's New Yorker and it's s typically note perfect image of gentrification in the face of raw sewage, otherwise known as Life In These Here Five Boroughs. The above link has a gallery of Tomine's other covers and they are all equally perfect, although I'm particularly partial to the one about moving to Jersey. Others love this updated "Shop round the Corner" image from 2008.

We've been telling you about the big plans from new publisher Z2 Comics for a while now, including their launch of a line of...

I'm not sure if Jaime Hernandez has ever drawn the Archie characters "for reals" before, but it's a very well known fact that Archie artist Harry Lucey was a HUGE influence on both Hernandez Brothers. So call this full circle as Jaime does a variant cover for the fourth issue of the revamped/real world Archie title by Mark Waid and Fiona Staples. Can you say...oh yes yes yes.

Keith Burns is an artist out of the UK that keeps an extremely low profile, at least on the Internet. He’s an artist you should...

The cover to The Paybacks (left), a new Dark Horse series by writers Donny Cates and Eliot Rahal and artist Geoff Shaw bears a striking resemblance to JG Jones' covers for Wonder Woman: The Hiketeia, written by Greg Rucka (right). Doncha think?
