Comics

So I made a stop at the magazine shop first, checked out "AppliedArts" (Canada's visual communication magazine, as is their tagline goes). The photography/illustration annual issue was out, although it was a little too expensive. I should really subscribe. Anyway some fine illustrations, more importantly I found out who the illustrator of all those Lavalife ads is; Marcos Chin. Love his style, specially the way he draws the nose.

Also, here's another goldmine of wonderful illustrations. Some good stuff in there.

Finally, I stopped at Grey Matter, the comic store. Spent a long time there, and finally came out with a couple of comics; Dange Girl, and Michael Turner's Soulfire (episode 0, which is basically nothing but a few sketches and drawings of the characters, it was shrink wrapped so I couldn't open it, rip off I tell you).

I almost weep when I flip through the pages of Danger Girl, the drawings take your breath away. J Scott Campbell is the official god.

p.s. unfortunately, my views on comics are strictly related to their artistic content, I often dont even read the comics I buy.
