Did you miss me last week? No? Didn’t notice at all, huh. Well, fuck you. I’m back.
This shit on this list has been deemed cool by a panel of Internets.
1. Making Fun of President Barack Obama
I found about these comics on What Things Do from someone on Facebook who was talking to Tom Neely, who’s excellent The Wolf is now available and worth your money. Anyway, sorry guy-who’s-name-I-can’t-remember, you should get credit for finding these gems. The overall premise of making President Barack Obama wondering-mind leader like George W. Bush is strong, but I found only a few of the comics to be hilarious. Here they are:

SG Member / Artist Name: Quakerninja / a.k.a. Daniel Newman
Mission Statement: I’m a member of SG’s Fan Art Group, and wanted to do a one-a-day for a year challenge, so I signed up with the Art House Co-op to do a sketchbook a month. The “80 Girls Project” seen here is book 5 of the series. I bit off more then I could chew to be honest and fell behind. The only thing that got me back on track was drawing something I really like, and I can’t think of many other things besides cheesecake I like more the Suicide Girls.

SG / Artist Name: yOyO Suicide
Mission Statement: Sugar & Spice DIY kind of describes the person I am. I’ve always been drawn to cute and colorful things, but at the same time dark and creepy as well. So just like the name describes there’s lots of sweet sugary items residing in my shop but also items with a bit of edge and spice as well. And I’m all about the ‘do it yourself’ aspect of things. I hand make all the items and the entire shop is run solely by me!

SG / Artist Name: Sucette, but I usually use Miss Sucette as my artist name.
Mission Statement: I began to draw when I was a cute lil’ girl. My father is an artist as well. I admired him and I wanted to draw like him. I spent all my childhood drawing, and I never let it go. It’s something that has come naturaly to me since I was a child. I just can’t live without art.
I grew up surrounded by old horror movies (the kind of movies where the car always broke down in the middle of nowhere…) and old cartoons. As a result, I began to create my own world, my own stories. Painting was just a result for me of an overflowing imagination, a way to exorcize my childhood fears.
With my own universe, I create art to propel you in a fantastic world and to talk about what I like the most. Animals, nature, science, and symbolism are central themes for my work. Through my paintings, I contemplate life, death, evolution, technology, loss of innocence, cruelty, and more. The messages I deliver are often tragic. I don’t like to show only what is good in the world. I want you to think about what’s wrong with us, what’s wrong in our world.

“Tattooing doesn’t need to be dressed up as anything.”
– Chris O’Donnell
Chris O’Donnell doesn’t have the rock star swagger. He hasn’t learned the art diva shtick nor developed an eye-catching wardrobe. Yet he’s one of the most sought after tattoo artists in New York by serious collectors and celebrities alike. It’s his work that garners all the attention while the boy-next-door persona sits quietly in the background.
Named one of the best tattooers in NYC by Time Out Magazine, Chris has been needling clients since 1993, specializing in classic Americana, Japanese, and East Asian iconography.

“I wanted Jane Eyre to look more punk rock”
– Dame Darcy
Dame Darcy is best known for her Fantagraphics comic book series Meatcake. But now she has taken on the ambitious project of adding illustrations to the Charlotte Bronte classic Jane Eyre for The Illustrated Jane Eyre. I got a chance to talk with Dame as she was traveling the country doing signings and shows with her band Death By Doll.

Last week’s post about Anonymous and the government’s overreaction to their movement was pretty depressing, so this week’s post is just a list of some cool things.
1. Natalie Phillips
I first found out about Phillips’ art through a free press publication called Eleven PDX. Her work is unique, colorful, and beautiful. I wouldn’t at all be surprised if she becomes a very well known artist very soon.
