Today’s subject: Ink illustrations. I’m a huge fan of this medium, especially being partial to anything comic-book-like. Here’s a few of my favorites that are for sale at etsy.com.
Gemma Ward By DannyRoberts: Who cares that it doesn’t really resemble Gemma Ward at all – it’s a dramatic, captivating drawing with fabulous shadows and a style that walks a line between dark and cute – just the way I like it!
Those Last Days by JohnClark: One of a series done on book pages in black and white lithographic style. His strange parade of girls, looking as if they’ve been taken from MySpace profile pics, are lent a certain poetic quality by the stark contrast and the words deliberately chosen to show through the art.
Watering Can by KellieDrawsPictures: Perhaps the least morbid of the wonderfully strange illustrations offered by this artist. I love the use of picture-book-style illustration with decidedly un-childish subject matter.
The Pianist by LaurenCastillo: A little more bright and colorful than my other picks, this illustration depicts one of my favorite pastimes, and has a wonderfully imperfect character like those created by Norman Rockwell or Lynn Johnston.
Just a Little Poot Nerdy Birdy by Tsaifi: So adorable and so very, very odd! I love the girl – somewhere between Holly Hobby and a sixties pinup – and the strange concept of nerdy, farting birds.
