Comic artist Jeffrey Brown has illustrated these precious father-and-son bonding moments in an illustrated storybook that includes batting with lightsabers and Skywalker Sr going ‘This isn’t the toy you’re looking for’ to his son Luke.

I’m loving this webcomic that I just discovered. Jesus Loves Lesbians Too chronicles the tales of Maria Burnham and her foray into lesbianhood, her struggles with her conservative Christian parents, her gay sister Diana, and her own love of Jesus.

Check out the work of Bilbao-based artist, Tanya Evangelista. From traditional oils and watercolors cum graphite, to haunting digital imagery and comic. Whisps of Schiele, Klimt, Kahlo, Chagal in harsh colors, poetic x-rays, and bony figures. Startlingly good.

Ryan Riss, aka Craptical, is firmly rooted in the grotesque school of pop art, drawing heavily from horror comics, drug culture imagery, and the work of Ed ‘Big Daddy’ Roth. Beneath the irreverence and sophomoric imagery, however, is contrastingly well-controlled line work and a mature sense of design and composition.
