Nurse Hypo by Phillip Jackson
Phillip Jackson, aka Jolly Jack, creator of the memorable “Sequential Art” and other online comic strips, has a great little sketchbook section to find a little inspiration. His drawings are fresh, sexy, and humerous – not a bad combination.

I came across the works of Frank Stockton via the newly started “quarterly zine of literature, art, and design” Urban Molecule. I’m glad I did too because Frank Stockton’s work is simply cool. I was also pleasantly surprised to find that I actually recognized one of his drawings from a New York Times article I had read some time ago about the disappearance of bees:
The above is from a scene out of a graphic novel by Isabelle Arsenault. Unfortunately I don’t know what it’s about because it’s in French! However, I suspect it has something to do with a recipe… The artist studied graphic design and then moved into the realm of illustration, and counts a children’s book as one of her accomplished, in addition to having won numerous award. Her illustrations definitely have a signature look to them and, I think, are quite charming.
When I happened upon the website of John S. Gibb, it literally took my breath away. The degree of realism in these pencil drawings is mind-blowing. From the site:
John S. Gibb is a leading pencil artist whose work is to be found in collections throughout the world, particularly in the USA where he has been honoured with numerous top awards at prestigious Arts Festivals.
He was born in England’s beautiful Lake District, which is where he now lives, spending five or six hours each day on the finely detailed drawings for which he is famous.
Living in Boston, Eric Haddad is busy making some fantastic drawings, including the one you see. Very clean, very fresh, and quite a beautiful style. I also really like his Adobe Illustrator drawings. Definitely someone to keep your eye on.
