I find myself posting about Coldplay, only days after posting about U2. This is very wrong. However, someone in management at these publishing conglomerates knows good animation when they see it! Behold this kindly video by Shynola.

Thanks to Drawn! for the awareness.

U2 - I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight from David OReilly on Vimeo.

Oh I don't give a flying handshake from U2 (sorry Bono if you are reading this) but the video by David O'Reilly ROX my boxers! YAR! Indeed.

Thanks Cartoon Brew.

Strange Tales Max is full of art-school superheroes!!

Marvel Comics has lifted the rotted log of mainstream comicbook illustration

to see what is wriggling underneath - and look what they found! Ho ho!

UTAGAWA KUNIYOSHI

My new favorite.

Skeleton is from Frightfiction blog.

Go read A Journey Round My Skull! It is a treasure trove.

Salvador Bartolozzi makes Pinocchio correctly. I hope you agree!

From A Journey Round My Skull blog, by way of Children's Illustration blog.

Also from the Skull blog: Jiri Trnka! Fab.

Magical Victor Dubrovsky - let's make felted stuffed animals!

Absolutely marvelous. Thanks Drawn! via Vera Brosgol.

Vasily Aksyonov

Today is a good day to read Aksyonov's great, strange novels: The Burn is great, also The Destruction of Pompeii. He passed away on Monday.

Big thanks to VA for some great books!

Stephan Britt

His new website isn't ready. His blog, while marvelous at first,
kind of withered on the proverbial vine.

How to get caught up with the wizard of Louisiana, Stephan Britt? I finally figured it out - go to his Flickr account. Whew!

Super puppet action! With the Fluorescent Hill gang!




You remember... the guys who made the dancing cupcake video.
