My new favourite webcomic? Justin Winslow’s adorable and hilarious Mythfits starring a robot and a unicorn in love.

It’s March, so you know what that means. It’s time for March MODOK Madness. All month various artists are submitting their interpretations of the classic and ridiculous Jack Kirby and Stan Lee creation.

Here’s my favourite so far — a MODOK version of Poncho from my pal Paul Gilligan’s comic strip Pooch Cafe.

Here’s a little treat. Lee Hardcastle presents Evil Dead in 60 seconds, made with stop motion.

Maria Stuart has a blog of daily drawings that, with the captions added, are like sublime little cartoons: Mrs. Stuart’s Dailys.

I thoroughly enjoyed Belgian animation studio Volstok Telefunken’s latest demoreel.

It takes restraint not to re-post everything Jillian writes on her blog over here. But take a moment to check out her advice on drawing animals in this post – “There is no formula to trick to drawing animals, or anything else for that matter. Only observation (ideally from life) and practice will give you a fundamental understanding of structure and form.”

Check Jillian’s illustration gallery here to see how uses animals in her illustrations regularly to evoke motion and emotion to great effect.

I enjoyed this dreamlike animated video for Hat by Max and Laura Braun, directed by Michael Fragstein.

Congratulations to our John Martz, for getting nominated March 12 for “Best Emerging Talent” in the annual Doug Wright Awards! His short “It’s Snowing Outside, We Should Go For A Walk” is the reason. Got a link to it, John?

Edit: Here’s the link — It’s Snowing Outside. We Should Go For a Walk.
