i recently got this very cool book: new york drawings, which features the illustrations of graphic artist adrian tomine for the new yorker magazine. i've been a huge fan of tomine for years. from his comic book series optic nerve to his graphic novels like shortcomings (one of my personal favorites), his attention to detail, clean line quality, compositions, and color choices always make a lasting impact. whether you know tomine or not, do yourself a favor and get your own copy here!
i'm in love with luke pearson, a young british illustrator and comic book artist who has quickly burst onto the scene with his unique hand, quirky sense of humor, and prolific portfolio. considering he only graduated in 2010 and has already published several comics, including the adventurous hildafolk and the heartbreaking everything we miss through nobrow press (who i've mentioned before in featuring another talented artist, ben newman), there is much to look forward to from this artist. i love his sense of color, attention to detail, and his beautiful linework. consider me a fan. learn more about luke here.
