Love these fashion illustrations by Lookbooker, Nancy Z. The illustrations remind me a bit of Miyazaki’s watercolour concept art.

I got a nice surprise in the mail this morning: An early release of Kindling - James Jean’s new set of art prints from Chronicle Books.

The 12 removable prints were selected from Jean’s NYC art show earlier this year. The set will be released in the fall. More photos of the new print set after the jump…

This proportionately correct real world Charlie Brown by Tim O’Brien is pretty cool. (via Box Brown).

It reminded me of Pixeloo’s “Untooned” drawings like his Homer Simpson:

He’s also done Jessica Rabbit, Super Mario, and Stewie.

Check out Kevin Waldron’s work. His site doesn’t have a lot, but what’s there is so great. I now can’t wait for the version of The Owl & The Pussycat that he has illustrated.

Really classy short video portrait of designer, Milton Glaser, by Hillman Curtis.

Lots of other great short films about artists on his site.

Weird Al’s latest in a string of animated music videos. Be warned: Skipper Dan’s tale may bring a tear to your eye.

Director Divya Srinivasan’s portfolio, however, is sure to lift your spirits.

Our designs are secret until they go live. In the meantime, I’ve sifted through the past two years of woot’s shirt offerings and found a few of my favorites:

LouLou and Tummie’s robot design featured a downloadable papercraft robot. You can see more of their work here.

The creepily clever Bird Brain is a recent offering by Jared Stumpenhorst. Visit his site here.

I doubt I’ll ever be as cool as Monsieur Pimpant’s pink monster.

Here’s a detail from Miss Monster’s recent phoenix design, which is still available as of this writing. Check out the full design and more of her work on her site.

Shirt.woot has paid over a million dollars to designers over the past two years. Their archives boast scores of illustrators and cartoonists featured here on Drawn! Take a look for yourself. It shouldn’t take too long to find the perfect design waiting to grace your torso.

In 2001, Hilary Leung started a personal illustration project called 1000strangers in which he would illustrate a different stranger he noticed in Toronto each day. It’s 8 years later, and the project continues.

He’s currently selling pieces to pay for his upcoming wedding, and originals are currently on display in the art window at the sadly-now-closing Pages book store here in Toronto.

In a recent blog post, illustrator Nate Williams shares his method for generating ideas for editorial illustrations.

The idea behind this methodology is similar to writing a song. There are only a few musical notes, but by rearranging their order, length and speed you can create an infinite amount of songs.
