New Illustration / Toothpaste For Dinner: funny daily web comic
February 1, 2012 | New Illustration | by Jenni Sparks |
Natalie Dee and her husband Drew run a huge, hilarious daily web comic. They have been doing it for years and years, I remember discovering it when I was a teenager when I was just discovering illustration. Their comics about pop culture and their daily lives are created in such a witty and sometimes satirical tone, with a seriously amusing edge.

New Illustration / Black Metal 2
January 27, 2012 | New Illustration | by Nate Frizzell |
When I read Black Metal One I fell in love with its originality and awesomeness. Chuck BB is an amazing artist and the dark Norse mythology/childhood adventure story makes for a ridiculously fun read. As of a few months ago, part 2 was in my hands and it’s just as good.

New Illustration / Johan Bjorkegren
January 25, 2012 | New Illustration | by Lara Cory |
Where romanticists seek authenticity and beauty in rock formations, Johan Björkegren draws forth stinking marches, dark pine forests and gloomy clear felled areas: our inner marshlands. The loneliness, the feeling that you are the only living creature to hear the tree fall in the forest, permeates these landscapes. Read more

The Suit Up exhibition comprises a number of artworks from various Australian street, comic, and illustration artists, each of whom has applied their unique style to that ubiquitous — yet, rarely tapped — canvas, the playing card. The designs have been produced as giclee prints, signed and numbered by the artists, and are limited to 10 prints of each design. Real-size decks of cards have also been produced for sale. The Suit Up crew is a close-knit group of predominantly Melbourne-based artists who are passionate about Australia’s ‘low-brow’ art scene, which is more collaborative and less ego-driven than much of the the high-brow art world. The exhibition runs between February 13 and 25.

Caught The Dust Dive the other night at Glasslands. They’re a bunch of hippies, but even I have to admit, they’re atmospheric live show – consisting of violin, gently strummed guitar, a few piano and sampler twinkles here and there, and sound samples from the found footage projected behind the band – is really powerful, like the warm rush of fond memories that hits you an instant before the mushroom cloud annihilates everything. Frontman Bryan Zimmerman even plays the musical saw, and you really can’t argue with that.
Listen to their track, Claws of Light.
