Wesley Eggebrecht

I discovered Wesley Eggebrecht's work through the collective art blog Numen Square a while ago and have been following his work every since. Definitly someone to keep an eye out for.

Extra Ordinary

Right on the same day I discovered Li Chen's webcomic, she had a problem with wordpress and all the website content disappeared. I managed to still read all the strips on flickr and was left wanting more, so it's great to see the blog up and running again.

Quite appropriately named, the webcomic is a mixture of simple everyday situations and out of the ordinary daydreams, featuring Li, her boyfriend and her cat Shoelace. I'm addicted already!

Super person of the week: Alex Ross

Alex Ross was probably the first artist to "paint" a comic (certainly the first one in the mainstream circle) and today is considered one of the world’s most preeminent and well-respected comic book artists around. His first big project in the comic industry was "Marvels", the book through which I discovered this work and was totally blown away by its hyper-realistic quality and how well it worked on the comic book format.

Over 15 years after the "Marvels" debut, his work has been on dozens of book covers and pages on several publishers including DC, Marvel, Warner, Dynamite and Wizard.

Angelique Houtkamp

Angelique Houtkamp has done a bit of everything, she started her artistic career as a tattooist, has worked as a dressmaker, make-up artist and bartender, ran her own jewellery company, played in bands, designed shoes, handbags and even wallpaper. But it's her paintings that make it for me, her paintings are heavily inspired by traditional old school tattoo imagery, but still full of originality and easily recognizable as her own.

Springfield Punx is Dean Fraser's Simpsons fan art project, with some of his favorite comic and film characters all err.. simpsonsed.

He's been doing it for over a year now, and has drawn not only a lot of Marvel and DC celebrities, but also characters from lots of films and tv shows including Indiana Jones, Back to the future, Ghostbusters, Edward scisor hands, The Matrix, Napoleon Dynamite and Heroes. Genious!

The Everyday

The Everyday is Adam Cadwell's online comic about.. err.. the everday. It hasn't been updated much lately (Cadwell's a busy man, working as a freelance storyboard artist and visualiser) but his site has 3 years worth of archieves of the strip and it's a lot of fun to go thru them. They are also available in paper form, printed in 3 collections from the shop in his website.  Fingers crossed there will be more coming soon!
