She’s from Rivne, Ukraine, and although extensively trained in fine arts, seems to aim for a sort of impressionist-inspired ‘intentional primitivism,’ a bit like Henri Matisse’s latter stuff, perhaps....
I love how the sketchiness of the inking works perfectly with this rainy scene. It’s from book one of the terrific series Aya de Yopougon, scripted by Marguerite Abouet, recounting her life spent living in a small town in Côte d’Ivoire, late 70’s. At least, that’s the starting point. I’ll try to do a proper overview...
Haha, gotta love that last panel for the https://i.imgur.com/7UYBI1a.jpeg vibes. 😁...

This is from the book Les cybers ne sont pas des hommes (“Cybers are not men”), in which François Landon wrote the script. The book follows a format in which text appears on one page, then a wordless splash page on the next. I found the 1st/3rd-person narrative rather surreal, almost cynical in tone, in which a couple...

Miou! Miou, get back here!...
Cruising Tumblr today, I was intrigued by the top-left piece. It reminded me somewhat of the work of the late, great https://www.google.com/search?q=%22patrick+nagel%22&udm=2. So then, to work finding more…...
Someone in an Asterix forums recently complained that Obelix never got a proper love interest, and it got me thinking… I mean, it seems that across Asterix, Lucky Luke, Tintin and probably many other popular series, very few (or outright none?) of the main characters discovered a bona fide romantic partner, and I suspect that...
This is the cover of a book, and unfortunately I found the contents rather mediocre by the standards of all the fun fan-based Tintin art out there. So I’m going to pivot by moving on to a few more hand-selected goodies I’ve uploaded below. Some of them involve film references or artist homages:...
Well, well!...
I admit… I’m sort of a huge, pompous blowhard when it comes to the strident truism “great art or not, a good story still needs good storytelling and plot!”...
I don’t know much about Olsen other than he has a Danish-Norwegian surname and his art vaguely fits under the umbrella of ‘LC.’ Specifically, I enjoy the playful style he uses in his https://sundaecomics.com/. More samples from Tiny Dracula here:...
I’m kinda stressed these days, but much thanks to @https://lemm.ee/u/paf@jlai.lu and @https://lemm.ee/u/Taniwha420 for filling in!...

This is by Tyler Miles Lockett, and the first in his https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atalanta series....
Evidently Benoit visited the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomium building / sculpture in 1982 and was inspired to create this piece....
I just discovered that Casterman made a “ciné album” to accompany Spielberg’s 2011 Tintin film. It makes for quite a unique-looking comic book, and is essentially a curated set of stills from the movie, set to balloon text. Seems like a fine way to revisit and enjoy...
I just finished reading the first three books of this swords & magic series, Percevan. It’s sort of like ‘the Smurfs meet Thorgal,’ with the style and pacing reminding me of the Dutch series Douwe Dabbert. The characters are almost completely stock, but that’s normal for this kind of work....

I first saw this one in the Summer 1988 issue of Heavy Metal, originally dating to 1985. I’m leading with the first line of the story instead of the actual title (To Draw or not to Draw) because the first line in the upper left easily gets lost upon reading....
