We make a regular practice at ComicsAlliance of spotlighting particular artists or specific bodies of work, but because cartoonists, illustrators and their fans share countless numbers of great images on sites like like Flickr, Tumblr, DeviantArt and seemingly infinite art blogs that we've created Best Art Ever (This Week), a weekly depository for just some of the pieces of especially compelling artwork that we come across in our regular travels across the Web. Some of it's new, some of it's old, some of it's created by working professionals, some of it's created by future stars, some of it's created by talented fans, and some of it's endearingly silly. All of it's awesome.

WANT TO CONTRIBUTE?

We're very much interested to see what you've dug up and think should be featured here in Best Art Ever (This Week). Please submit any great art links to andykhouri-at-comicsalliance.com. Artists, feel free to send in your own work or to request that your work be removed.

Hawkman by Nick Choles

The image above was painted by Nick Choles for an old DC Comics trading card set from the 1990s. I saw it when I was a kid. In that unexplainable way that an illustration can stay with you, this one always stayed with me and became part of that matrix of influences and tastes that form our aesthetic values and how we appreciate art. Mine was absolutely informed by this image. Years later, Nick Choles emailed me to say he's a fan of Best Art Ever. That was awesome.
