I mentioned that I’ve recently discovered J.C. Leyendecker, an illustrator from the turn of the 20th Century. He was known for magazine covers, and men’s fashion illustrations. Here’s a few images that I’ve been studying, hoping to absorb some of his sharp technique into my own work.
Wonder Woman by Des Taylor. See more of his amazing artwork at Despop.deviantart.com and visit his blog at despopart.blogspot.ca. Just because I grew up reading comic books and watching Wonder Woman in the 70’s (well, reruns in the 80’s).
See more of Risastorm’s art at Risastorm.DeviantArt.com Bella Goth, the quintessential Sims, who’s life we’ve all had a chance to interfere with.

I started drawing her months ago. I decided to finish her up over the past couple of days. Created with Inkscape and GIMP. Textures by Allthingsprecious and Sherrys-Camera. (You are more than welcome to share this drawing, all I ask is credit and a link back to blackdaisies.com. Thank you! ^_^. )

Beautiful interpretation of the Endless by CrisVector.  See more of his amazing artwork here: crisvector.deviantart.com If you’re not familiar with The Endless, you should be: NPR’s Book Club Primer on “The Sandman”Â

I first saw this on Torontoist and fell in love. Catshrine created this perfect fantasy map of Toronto. Complete with Distillery District Sprites and Junction Hipster Gnomes. Junction. Hipster. Gnomes. Catshrine is an art collecctive in Toronto. Their  portfolio and close ups of our neighbourhoods are on their blog here:Catshrine.ca
I found Kevin Wada’s art through tumblr, or pinterest… (or something). First of all, I love his style and I definitely love how he interprets my favourite Marvel characters. Â The pictures are linked to Geek-Art.net and you can find more on his tumblr here: kevinwada.tumblr.com
