Robert Kim or as he’s known as on deviantART; Roboto-kun, draws some epic anime.

Jonas Bergstrand

It may just be by coincidence, but like a lot of people these days, I’ve been really into owls and Jonas’ drawings really just left me wanting more…owls.

I love the old-school style that Jonas Bergstand uses, reminding me of one part old Disney movies and another two parts Eric Carle’s illustrations (which I also love).

Letterpress Dice Prints by Stukenborg

Simon Vanderveen — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 00:47:21 +0000

I just had to share these dice prints, each made using a letterpress (like a newspaper) has a different and unique design built by different dice placements.

I really love these pieces and if you’d like to check out the many more Stukenborg has made, be sure to check out his Etsy shop.

I found this on Today and Tomorrow

Aaron Piland and Ayumi Kajikawa Piland – Artist Husband and Wife Duo

Simon Vanderveen — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 03:35:41 +0000

I stumbled onto Aaron and Ayumi’s (APAK, if you will) cutesy artwork on posting on Grain Edit and had to check out more of APAK’s work. The husband and wife duo clearly have a thing with whimsical, fantastical, and magical things throughout all of their work, which is neat to see when we are surrounded by a dark and negative traits/feelings I get from other current artists’ work.

Be sure to check out more of their great work on their website and Flickr pages.

Jack Teagle’s Paintings Of Superheroes

I really enjoy Jack Teagle’s superhero paintings. I love the cartoon-y versions of each characters, especially Adam West’s Batman. Scrolling through his Flickr photostream I noticed he carries a retro styling in all of his work, which I think is something that is becoming very trendy and enjoyable.
