came across the website of an artist named esao. paintings, illustration, comics, sketchbooks, and self designed site. nice. lot’s to see. his links pointed me toward a group of fellow artists all dabbling in the same elements, all interesting. check tomer hanuka’s illustations (my favorites of which are the more personal kent ave. 1, and 2) and gorgeous covers for the comic bipolar. also of interest are james jean (particularly the collaborative work called polite winter, and his covers for the comic fables like this one). other’s of note are zachary baldus, zachary flagg (who in all likelihood are the same person), farel dalrymple, and last but not least yuko shimizu. interesting work, and most of these folks are local, so give them a look.
