Paris-based illustrator Matthieu Barrère has a site called Awful Drawings, where he posts, er, awful drawings. These mostly come with declarative copy and are howlingly silly. We like stuff that is howlingly silly, so we like Matthieu Barrère.

Xiaonan Sun recently posted a unique video of him drawing a tribute to Shawshank Redemption, one of his favorite movies. But what really makes it amazing is that he did this work with both hands at the same time. Using only pencils and erasers, this self-taught artist creates truly fantastic drawings.

I was sure I’d misread the description when I first found these amazing drawings by Samuel Silva. How could they not be photos? Believe it or not, these colorful, photo-realistic images were created using ballpoint pens or graphite and charcoal. What’s the secret to the amazing resemblance to photographs? Huge amounts of time and incredible attention to [...]

Sometimes artists draw still life. Sometimes artists do portraits. Sometimes some artists find it’s needed to not only stray away from a more conventional path, but to pull its pants down and examine its naughty bits. This is where Birdfood’s artwork pulls out its magnifying glass and goes to town.

Cats In The Alley started as two soul mate cats who were living in an alley. Dizzy and Tabs are punk rock cats who like books and libraries and making things out of stuff thoughtless people have thrown out. They don’t like eminent domain and things that would ruin the alley.

After 20 years or so of making provocative disturbing art, Makoto Aida is currently having a retrospective exhibition of his huge body of work at Mori Art Museum — which, in them, coincidentally run up a high body count of mostly expressionless salarymen and school girls with Aida favoring dark themes like dismemberment, mutilation and [...]

Indonesian artist Veri Apriyatno has drawn himself into eternity. His hyperirealistic art is extremely detailed and well thought out. He creates illusions similar to those of M.C. Escher except with more personality and humor. At first glance, it’s honestly hard to tell if it’s only drawings or if Apriyatno is actually standing next to his [...]

After reading of some of the recent record sales at the large art auction houses, it got me thinking: art should not only be available to the wealthy, but available for anyone. Hence, this year I’m creating 365 unique drawings, posting an image per day, and giving every one of them away.

Every captured image has his fingers holding up a penciled drawing that overlaps whatever is being photographed. Love how a meeting of two worlds leads to the creation of a new one with a [...]
