I really respect artists who work in ink, it seems like such an unforgiving medium. Sam Weber has some great sketches and an impressive portfolio of illustrations, ranging from the visceral to the dark and unsettling.

Many of you may already be familiar with the works of James Jean, whether you know it or not. Since 2001, James has been working in the comic industry on such titles as Fables (above), Batgirl, Green Arrow, and others.
I was debating on whether or not to include this picture as it is done using encaustic wax. However, I decided to not discriminate based on media but to include Matt Duffin’s great work nonetheless. As it states on his website, “he chose to explore the more human themes of solitude and irony through art. His medium has evolved from charcoal to encaustic wax, but he continues to dwell in the realm of dark recesses and stark contrasts.” I couldn’t put it any better.
Self-proclaimed “Figurative Painter, Draughtsman, and Sculptor” Randolphlee McIver has some truly stunning and utterly unique drawings the likes of which I don’t come across often. Above is just one example of a multitude of different styles; this one being what I see as 2-d figures on 3-dimension objects. Great stuff
Freelance illustrator Amanda Morley has a great, loose but accurate drawing-style.
Fantastic drawings and illustrations by Pyhai.
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.
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.
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.
I feel this drawing perfectly displays Niko Henrichon’s ability to draw both compelling comic characters as well as bring to life vivid fantasies.
