Paintings by Clive Powsey and Johnson and illustrations by Sergio Martinez.
Paintings by Clive Powsey
Clive Powsey has three blogs where he shows his watercolour paintings, paintings for animated television, drawings and sketches and digital art.
Personal I like the watercolours best. The links to the other three blog are at the top of the first page of this blog.
Plain air by Johnson
With a few broad stroke of his brush Johnson capture a wide variety of landscapes, houses and other odds and ends.

Sergio Martinez draws people. Illustrations for such stories as Olivier, Zorro, Pinocchio find there way into several papers.

Funny illustrations by Mattias, abstract paintings by Leo Mayer and tattoo art by Shawn Barber.
Mattias Inks
Here’s a funny blog from a Swedish illustrator. Mattias creates drawings of creatures. All kind of creatures. Varying from robots to funny animals.
Here is one of his drawings commenting the recent European soccer championship.

Leo Mayer
Augarte by Leo Mayer
Looking at a painting like this, cold shivers run down my spine.
I don’t know what this is. Or what it is supposed to be. The title gives no information what so ever.
Further more I don’t even know whether I like it. But there is something fascinating about this painting.
Leo Mayer has many more paintings like this one.
Shawn Barber
And now for something different.
I must admit that after searching for artsites for about a year I’ve never seen anything like this site.
Shawn Barber is a tattoo artist who documents his own work and the work of his colleagues in what he calls Tattooed portraits. Which are exactly what they are. In some portraits you get to see (a part) of the person, but in most you only see the tattoo.

Describing the art work of Mél Ancholy, Tim Lowly and Weasel boy.
Sometimes my eye is caught by a set of pictures that are horrible but still draw my attention. Todays first artist produces that kind of work. Mél Ancholy produces a kind of art she calls PhotoART. Photos, of people and object, manipulated to look old and vulnerable. Somehow these photos are beautiful in their ugliness.
My second choice for today is almost the opposite of first one. Tim Lowly paints little pictures of people in strange poses. Although far from ugly I do wander why I he show people the way he does.
If by Tim Lowly
Weasel boy seems a bit odd name for a weblog about illustrations. The site show a lot of funny little drawings of dragons, animals, funny people, funny superheros and the sort.
Some illustrations are partly sketched so you can see how they were made.
