Just found out that Nick Dewar passed away recently. He was only 36. I’ve admired his illustrations in many magazine annuals, his work was amazing, simple yet always quite creative. Please take a minute to check out his amazing work at nickdewar.com

On his site he posted a really in depth discussion of his illustration process.

I recently found this Flickr pool from a guy named Oily Moss, and I love the idea. So much so that I joined the group. And you should too. Note: Only 1 post a day, and each piece cannot have taken more than 1 day to complete.

I came upon Rene Almanza’s illustrations through Dannlord’s deviantart page, which led me to his protobunker illustration site. Amazing work. Beautiful use of line.
