Untitled (Figure with Worm Eyes) by Ken
These drawings by an artist simply identified as Ken are haunting in their simplicity and surrealism. Borderline macabre, they leave me wondering as to their meaning.

“Figure Artists 2″ by Jinyoung Shin
I just love the thin people of Jinyoung Shin, the style and cerebral qualities of her work. Her color work is great as well, very vivid and trippy.
“Tony Blair” by Rick Tulka
Denny Smith, whom I posted about last week, pointed me to old-time friend of his, Rick Tulka. It turns out Rick is a contributor to one of my all-time favorite ‘toon rags, Mad Magazine. Rick’s site is chock full of fantastic caricatures and other works of his.
“Belle Cactus” by Niko Henrichon
I feel this drawing perfectly displays Niko Henrichon’s ability to draw both compelling comic characters as well as bring to life vivid fantasies.
“Fat Pigeons” by Ryan de Haaff
The British Ryan de Haff self-proclaimed “wannabe freelance illustrator” is pretty talented and has some good stuff on his site. You can find even more goodies on his blog.
Untitled (Nazi Daemon) by Hethe Srodawa
Man Hethe Srodawa is incredibly talented and imaginative. If you’re ever in the need for some character inspiration check out his portfolio or stop by his blog.
“Force” by Justine Ashbee
Justine Ashbee creates these wonderfully organic, oversized drawings with Sharpie pens. As she puts it:
Through this intuitive visual language, a negotiation of the visceral and everyday human experiences of beauty and pleasure, and feeling are given voice.
