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

New York is the most exciting place in the world. Anything at any time can startle or amaze you. I took this photo walking on the street in Soho.

January 24, 2012 | New Illustration | by Vishavjit Singh |
I am the only turban and bearded editorial cartoonist in America. I started cartooning post 9/11, inspired by other editorial cartoonists’ work.

The digital book accessible from this link was created to introduce denizens of this planet to the some of the mysterious turbaned characters cohabitating their space. Read more
New Illustration / Laura Plansker’s nostalgic 3D illustrations
January 23, 2012 | New Illustration | by Gerry Mak |

Wolf and Cub are back with a brand new single and after listening to it, I feel like I should be out in the streets, warning my neighbours of the apocalypse. The song is huge, forceful, damming and painfully exciting. Joel Byrne’s half-drawl, half-howl proclaims the end, while (in true Wolf and Cub) the drums are epic and unsettling. And then, that moment, the bass against the fading echoes. My heart broke and my brain exploded. It’s too much to take. This band will be the death of me.
