Homestuck

Homestuck, by  Andrew Hussie.  Man, what a smart guy.  When it’s on its game, which it usually is, it’s one of the most profoundly entertaining comics reading experiences of my life.  There was a time when I would have said “fiction reading experiences”, but, well-  the story is so long and meandering, my mind lately [...]

Steve Wolfhard Again

Steve Wolfhard’s Cat Rackham comics have been on this blog before, but I think he’s due for another mention.  I love his drawings so much; one of my very favorites.  Plus I think all his old links are obsolete now.  Check out his website for Cat Rackham comics.  Though I swear there were some others [...]

The Accidental Space Spy

Hey, Tom Herpich here.  Chris is busy or dead or something for a few days, so I’m gonna post a couple links to some rad webcomics you may not have known about.  Today it’s The Accidental Space Spy by Øyvind Thorsby.  This is the same guy who made Hitmen for Destiny, which I loved, and [...]

Nick Bertozzi’s “Persimmon Cup”

I’m a pretty tough guy to impress these days, comics-wise, but Nick Bertozzi’s web comic “Persimmon Cup” really knocked me out. It’s got everything I want from a sci-fi comic.

The Professor’s Daughter

Just recently, though, I stumbled on this giant preview on the site of their American publisher, First Second, and I was blown away. It looks like what would happen if James McMullan got [...]

Evan Penny

Check out the work of sculptor Evan Penny. Classy.

Hyper-detailed Soldier Models

I was looking for some photo-reference for soldiers fighting in Iraq. All I could find were really blurry little photographs, until I stumbled onto this site, which sells these amazingly hyper-detailed little soldier models. Not only are they great reference, but they’re really cool just to look at. There’s dozens of ‘em.

CVIC Works Coalition: the art and illustration of Chad Verrill

This site is full of “I wish I’d thought of that” paintings and prints. Especially amazing are the “stereoscopics” (as pictured), which work like a Magic-Eye, but look like really bizarre Viewmaster slides.

It only took 18 months…

…but I’ve finally updated my website. A total overhaul, really. Chekid out.
