James Jean Prada Ad

Despite the fact that this is for some lame fashion thing this is a pretty ad. I love James Jean's work and it's neat to see it animated.

Groo the Wanderer

Earlier in the semester Sean mentioned Sergio Aragones. As is turns out this guy is actually worth looking into. He does all sorts of cool illustrations not to mention his comic book, Groo, The Wanderer. Funny and fascinating, and worth a few bucks.

Vector Magic

Vector Magic is an online bitmap tracing tool that creates vector images. It works just like Live Trace in Illustrator, though Stanford University, creators of the tool, argue that it works even better.

Check out this comparison :


It seems to me that some of the obvious issues with Adobe's tracer can be fixed by simply toying with some of the options, I'm not familiar with Corel's. But either way, it's another tool to stick in your belt, give it a shot and see how you like it.

Raymond Swanland

I love fantasy illustration and this guy creates some awesome looking examples of it. He is one of the creators of the Oddworld Universe and much of his work relates to that. I'm not very familiar with Oddworld myself, but it looks cool as hell.

If this image interests you at all check out his website that has many more examples of his work.

Am I the only one who keeps forgetting to post?

I'm sure you've seen this in an email before, but if not these chalk drawings are really awesome!

HP Commercial

I don't watch a lot of TV so this may not be new to everyone, but I just saw some pretty cool HP commercials that I thought were great examples of digital art.

Shaun White
The Making of the Shaun White Ad

An interesting side note, the snowboards shown in the Shaun White Ad were actually illustrated by James Jean, who is probably one of my favorite illustrators.

Reto Kaul - Concept Artist

It is so frustrating to find such awesome artists that are several years younger than me. But awesome art is still awesome art, no matter who you are.

Reto Kaul is a Swiss freelance concept artist that is kicking my ass. Check out some more of his stuff by clicking the links below.
