Artist and illustrator Silene Audibert has some interesting nature-inspired pen and ink drawings posted to fuel your creative inspiration. They kind of remind me of magic root the little girl hides under her mother’s bed in the movie Pan’s Labyrinth.

Tim Hon Hung Lee got in touch today to let me know he had updated his portfolio with some new works. His line work is really amazing. That is no easy task to replicate with a pen.

Daniel J Diggle has some really amazingly detailed illustration work on display in his Flickr-folio. What I appreciate most is seeing his work through this process from pencil to pen to finished print. He also has a website here where you can learn and see a little more.

French is shreddin’ the gnar of my brain matter with his death metal-inspired pen and ink drawings. Rip it up and grind it brother.

“Merijn Hos (1978, Enschede, NL) who is also known under his alias Bfree, is an Artist and
Illustrator from Utrecht, the Netherlands. He graduated in 2004 from the Utrecht School of
Visual Arts with a B.F.A in Illustration.
Since then he divides his time working 50 percent as an Illustrator working on commercial
projects while the other 50 percent of his time is dedicated to his own projects such as ex-
hibitions and independent publishing.
The main characteristics in his work are at first sight long-legged characters with high-heel
shoes and big hairdo and freckles, a lot of colours and abstract psycadelic landscapes.
But when it comes to content, you will find a lot of elements such as ghosts, life and death,
friendly and cute expressions and hidden messages.
A lot of the work reflects on issues in todays society and everyday interaction between peo-
ple in terms of escapism, organised confusion and friendship and loyalty.”
Call me crazy but I guess I am kind of a fan of ‘long-legged characters with high-heel
shoes and big hairdo and freckles, a lot of colours and abstract psycadelic landscapes’. I mean seriously, who isn’t?

The results of Mike Giant’s recent show at White Walls SF can currently be seen at the White Walls website. I was absolutely blown away, especially when you consider that all of the work is sharpie, pen and ink. I have been working with vector art for more than a decade now and to see someone bang out something that looks like a vector by hand is pretty amazing. The type work is phenomenal as well. Again just unreal that it is done by hand. The fact that Giant signs his work with a thumb print makes the pieces even more indescribably awesome.
A lot of the work is still available for purchase as well and if you are a collector you can’t miss. If you can afford an expensive art purchase in this economy please help support this artist because his work is top notch.
