Sometimes you see something and have an instant connection. The art and illustration of Nick Sheehy (AKA Showchicken) does just that for me. Sheehy’s characters wouldn’t look out of place in a children’s book, though the tale they tell feels much more adult. Loving the colour, detail and style.

There’s not much I can say about this comic by Matthew Lyons that will do it justice. For me it hits the mark in so many places – just see for yourself.

This is his submission to Nobrow’s A Graphic Cosmogony.

Loving these illustrations for the drinks brand Dr. Lemon created by Argentinian agency Plenty

The day of the dead stuff is just too cute.

The illustration style of this series, by Inkamon is very organic, very beautiful and very weird. I love those colours and it feels just a bit overtly sexual. Or maybe that’s just me.

I’ve been meaning to post this illustration by Lars for ages, as I really love it.

I just discovered this online drawing tool, which I think is brilliant. It’s easy to use and quick to get nice results.

These 3 images are the product of a few minutes play, no erasing and no undoing – I’m not that great at drawing, trust me. Have a go and send it to me.

Besides not having time, I haven’t seen an awful lot to be inspired by recently. These are a few images that got saved to my desktop though.
