Once again via Deptford.

As we are now into the final week before Christmas

...I feel I can post some Christmas-y images over the next few days (including continuing a tradition on scans_daily thanks to the generosity of a favourite artist of the community, who those of you who have been here for a few years will probably be able to guess)

So to start with a little announcement by way of Dustin Nguyen



You tell em' Tiny Tim!

And for legality

( Robin puts those accusations of being a fairy to rest... )

Rurouni Kenshin Live Action Movie Trailer

[aeka]

Don't know how many Rurouni Kenshin fans are on here (I'm certainly one of them), but for those of you who haven't heard, Japan has made a live action film adaptation of the popular manga series, and they finally released a trailer!

( And so far it looks promising! :D )

I need a balance from announcing deaths...

And so to that end, I'm going to spend the next couple of posts to showcase a couple of artists who are not only well and truly alive, but who have a vibrancy to them that re-energises me just looking at them.

Here's the first, a chap by the name of Patricio Oliver, an Argentinian artist who has a blog here and who is a regular contributor to the always worth a wander through Project: Rooftop.

He has a very stylised style which could annoy the hell out of me, and in lesser hands probably would, but these are beautiful, with a very Erté feel to it.

( The Guardians of the Galaxy )

( A purely notional (alas) New X-Men cartoon )

And a fun assortment of 1920's style New Mutants, for no reason other than the 20's were fun

( So why not... )

( And because I like the use of contrast - Northstar )

But this is how I first cam across Patricio's work, as he shares my abiding affection for Saint Seiya (Which was HUGE in South America, amongst other places, back in the day)

( The Bronze Saints of Saint Seiya )

The Savanna

( Comic behind the cut. )

warning for sexism

And in my second "new artist" highlighting post - Sara Richard

The origins of this posting came about when I saw this image on e-bay

I thought that this was a lovely sketch-card of Aurora and Northstar by an artist named Sara Richard.



and wanted to see more of her work...

( When I saw THESE images I knew I had a new artist to keep an eye on )
