douglas December 9th

monsters, cute robots, strange giant creature-things. those must be required subjects in illustration 101 at every art school on the planet.

another class must be “how to draw strange nostrils instead of a nose”.

if you follow illustration blogs and sites, these few themes for some reason are utterly rampant. maybe it will pass, like “gel cap navigation buttons”, “sun beam backgrounds” and “page peel” that every other website design portfolio had about 3 years ago. Oh, and “shiny chicklet button things”…

stunning illustrations. Great work, a lot of stuff I haven’t seen before.

Truly inspiring.
Keven Bouchard March 10th

That’s totally ugly…

Seriously, I call that Lazy Drawings. It’s a form of art ? a style ? bullshit… there’s nothing clean, though, hardly done here.

Those which are really worth seeing here are only Andrey Gordeev and Allan Sanders. The others are only photoshop tutorials mess or lazy hand drawings.

Seriously, you can do A LOT better than a post like that.
helmetgirl March 10th

Very nice collection and nice to see a new selection of illustrators- a lot of these I have not met yet.- Of to do so now
