art blogs of note

Megan Brain has a blog that features paper sculpture art, plus a lot of other interesting random art stuff. You can check out more of her work at meganbrain.blogspot.com.

Yuki is a freelance secret agent created by Kevin Dart. I find her incredibly chic. His art book called Seductive Espionage: The World of Yuki 7 will be out on 3 July 2009. You can check out more of his work and book at kevindart.com.

There's even a trailer for the book!

Found this blog when it linked to mine. It belongs to Anna Bron, an animation student at Sheridan College. I like her character designs. The caricature style is really nice. You can check out more of her work at annabron.blogspot.com.

I saw this on Michael Nobbs' Twitter stream which sounds pretty cool.

Art House Co-op is organizing The Sketchbook Project 4 (already!?). Participants will get a Moleskine sketchbook (with the entry fee paid), fill it with art and mail it back. Then a gallery will be held at Art House Gallery in December 2009.

Visit www.arthousecoop.com/projects/sketchbookproject for more information.

Months ago I wrote about the blog of Pascal Campion. I forgot to mention about his partner's blog, which features equally cool illustrations. Ladies and gentlemen, Matthieu Forichon.

Here are some blogs of book publishers that I check out regularly. They have book previews, events, giveaways, etc. Great for checking out upcoming books.

• Chronicle Books
• Fantagraphics Books
• Quirk Books
• Bud's Art Books
• DC Comics

If you know of any other publishers that have interesting blogs, share them via comment.

Here's a highly inspirational blog called Doodlers Anonymous. It's frequently updated with sketches from from doodlers all over the world.

From their About page:

Doodlers Anonymous was founded to celebrate our addiction, and like any other, we're hooked. The need to draw, sketch, and doodle is constant. We doodle on almost anything we can find — pencil in a moleskine, marker on a napkin, ink on a torn receipt, sharpie on concrete. And we do it habitually — while on hold, in a meeting, during class, or while we should be sleeping.

This is a permanent home for spontaneous art. There's a blog, interviews, themed-submissions and a lot of amusing thoughts on paper.

You can find the blog at doodlersanonymous.com.

Here's the sketchbook blog of Alexander Preuss called ABALAKIN. There are more finished works than sketches there. He works on futuristic sci-fi concept art.

Here's a link back to Gisele Jaquenod & Birdie. There's a lot going on her blog: interesting pictures, Blogger template giveaways, contests, Birdie items for sale, tutorials and so much more. It's one of my frequently read blogs.

Be sure to check it out at giselejaquenod.com.ar/blog.
