Australian cartoonist Andrew Fulton would really like an iPad. And he wants you to pay for it.

Okay, not really. But, as a way to fund his technolust he’s selling custom tablet-themed drawings and comic strips: I’d really like to get an iPad, guys.

All that aside, Andrew’s comics are definitely worth your time, if you aren’t familiar with them. Since I last linked to him here a few years ago, Andrew’s comics have evolved into lovely, poetic things. His simple style has allowed him to play with panels, moods, and time in very interesting ways. His comics are among my favourite things on the Internet.

Some examples:

I know I’m preaching to the converted here, but this is a funny take on what freelance illustrators (and freelance everythings) go through on a daily basis.

I was browsing the Rabid Children Flickr group for artwork inspired by the music of They Might Be Giants, which introduced me to the work of Vancouver artist Hine Mizushima, whose little felted characters blew me away with pure cute (more at her Flickr stream).

I was then immediately reminded that she was responsible for the stop motion video for TMBG’s Why Does the Sun Shine? from their wonderful Here Comes Science:

You may be aware of Nathan Fowkes’ painting blog (Adam mentioned it back here), but have you seen his sketch blog? Years worth of gouache and watercolour landscape sketches and a few tutorials, like the one (partially) shown here.

Le banc (The Bench) is a beautiful trippy little film from French illustrator Bruno Salamone and Belgian children’s book author Kitty Crowther. The short screened at Aller-retour, an exhibition in Paris.

I’ve already watched it twice. So fun.
