The Great Showdowns
Artist Scott C. has a way of distilling great movies down to the essentials, all the while presenting them as beautifully rendered caricatures.

Bright and colorful, Brendan Wenzel’s animal studies also exhibit an enjoyable flavor of humorous caricature.

Michael Cho
I can’t get enough of Michael Cho’s great line work, compositions and limited color choices. This portrait is timely, with the Captain America: The First Avenger movie in production.
Methane Studios
Methane Studios got its start in 1998 when Mark McDevitt and Robert Lee formed a partnership to produce silk screen posters for the East Atlanta club The Echo Lounge that featured some of the best independent bands in the late 1990’s. Today they exist as a two man studio creating package designs, logos, and posters.
Don Kenn
Don Kenn’s work makes me imagine an alternate universe where Maurice Sendak’s “Where the Wild Things Are” is instead written by H.P. Lovecraft and illustrated by Edward Gorey. Don’s vision and execution is wonderfully creepy.
Monster Friends
A set of four posters by artists Alex Pearson, Jeff Kandefer, Andy Young, and Julian Baker comprise the fun Monster Friends set.
Andy Helms
Visit Andy Helm’s various sites for more fun, including his Dude a Day project.
Tom Gauld

Mad Men Illustrated
Check out Dyna Moe’s great collection of illustrations from each episode of the great show “Mad Men.” My favorite episode to date is from season one titled “The Wheel”:
“Nostalgia – it’s delicate, but potent. Teddy told me that in Greek, “nostalgia” literally means “the pain from an old wound.” It’s a twinge in your heart far more powerful than memory alone. This device isn’t a spaceship, it’s a time machine. It goes backwards, and forwards… it takes us to a place where we ache to go again. It’s not called the wheel, it’s called the carousel. It lets us travel the way a child travels – around and around, and back home again, to a place where we know are loved.” –Don Draper
Michael Myers
Michael Myers creates strong graphic images and wonderful caricatures using a pleasing color palette. The Lost fan in me really enjoys his cast portraits. (Dude.)
