Just saw this terrific gallery of art by Natalie Nourigat over at Jamie Rich’s flickr stream. It’s from a story they’re working on for an anthology. Natalie was an intern here over the summer, and we’d love to take some credit for how terrific she is, but in fact she was a pro from the day she first knocked on our door.

And here’s something more pleasant to post about. New art from Jonathan Case and Ron Chan.
Jonathan’s painted a surf guitar masterpiece that’s going to be on permanent display at a McMenamins here in Portland- the Kennedy School I think:

The next is Ron Chan’s awesome drawing of Nathan Hale from Resistance 2:

Random internet weasel puts up a whole bunch of scans of Jeff Parker’s art in his own portfolio.

Word just came down that THE U.S. CONSTITUTION: A GRAPHIC ADAPTATION, written by Jonathan Hennesey and illustrated by our own Aaron McConnell, has been nominated for the YALSA (Young Adult Library Services Association) “Great Graphic Books for Teens” list. Designed to aid YA librarians with graphic novel collections, the list presents graphic novels published in the past 16 months, selected for proven or potential appeal to the personal reading tastes of teens.

The final list of this year’s recommended titles is set to premiere at the 2009 ALA Midwinter Meeting which will take place in Denver, CO, from Jan 23–28.

There’s some cool video of Aaron’s highly-detailed work process over at Facebook.

Ron Chan here. I had a good day of downtime, so I decided to do some fan art for the PS3 game I’m currently obsessing over, Mirror’s Edge.

“Hi, folks. Jeff Parker here. Comic Book Resources is kindly testing out this new feature wherein I directly engage a potentially hostile artist in the wild and attempt to coax him or her into sharing with our fellow process junkies valuable secrets of hammering out a readable comic book.

For our first time out, I’m talking with cartoonist Tom Fowler, whose work can be seen often in some small upstart magazine called “MAD” or some such. Tom and I recently created a new series being published by Wildstorm called “Mysterius The Unfathomable,” so we’re going to focus on how one starts with nothing and gets to a fully realized cast and world. ”
