Boy, talk about "Man Cartoonists". Jim Tyer is the definition of one. This guy had the power to shoot his pure funny thoughts straight from his brain through his pencil to hit the paper unfiltered by preconceived rules, model sheets or second-guessing. He just drew what he felt - and he felt that kids deserved fun.That's kind of how I draw storyboards, but I always intend to "fix" things later in

I have a real soft spot for old printing and type specimen books, so I adore the beautiful scans over at BibliOdyssey of a German printer’s book called Schrift- und Polytypen-Proben (Fonts and examples of different type).
Follow the trail of links and you’ll discover a treasure of type, engravings, and flourishes to inspire your next ornamental illustration project.

Scampd is a new blog/showcase devoted to celebrating contemporary advertising illustration. From the site:
For a time, we silently bore witness as advertising award shows and design annuals killed off their once glorious illustration categories. But enough is enough, and we have decided to do something about it.
Illustrators, art directors, and agencies are invited to submit their work to be featured.

More stiff caricaturesThese hotties would surely make Disney fans swoon in cartoon form.That Taylor girl really does have an interesting head, but I haven't quite nabbed it yet.

It's on Showtime (or one of your sports channels) for only $25.If you haven't seen Fedor yet, you're in for a treat! He is a fighter/scientist with no emotion. He just analyzes his opponent while taking a few punches and kicks and then he destroys him with efficiency.Support manliness!Fedor's Cartoon Drawings:

In my insatiable search for illustrations for my posts, I often find images that I'm dying to share but haven't yet found room in a particular post for.Here are some of these magnificent treasures that speak more than words could say...UNDERWEAR GOD: "I better go arrest that lady for indecent exposure!

I thought I better warm up with some real men in case my Emo studies affect me somehow.I love UFC and have sen all these guys fight many times, but it didn't help me today.These are all super stiff and didn't capture their souls.It's probably better to draw them in action or still frame them.I wonder why you never see animated features with manly male heroes like these?Ugh. I gave up on the men
