Repaneled is a newish blog that recreates classic comics panels in new art styles. Up today: Anthony Vukojevich's reimagination of a key panel from Gabrielle Bell's San Diego Comic-Con Comicumentary.

If we could fly, we'd blast over to Versailles to see the spectacular show by Japanese pop artist Takashi Murakami currently housed there. The opulent palace built by French monarch Louis XIV (The Sun King) is perfectly complemented by the extravagant work by the great Murakami, who has worked with capitalist icons like Louis Vuitton in the past and whose work often engages with materialism. However, Prince Sixte-Henri de Bourbon-Parme, a descendant of Louis XIV, feels the show is slumming for the historical landmark.

Ming Doyle has posted her art school college thesis 1909, a steampunk girl's own adventure.

Artist John Cebollero is one of our pals, we'll admit, but we'll come right out and say it: he should be way better known than he is. With a style based on the organic, EC-influenced art of 70s undergrounds, Cebollero has a creepy, darkly funny look that's all his own.
