Best Art Ever (This Week)

The proliferation of social media is an incredible boon for lovers of comic book art, design and illustration. Sites like Flickr, Tumblr, DeviantArt and other countless blogs and feeds bombard us with a ceaseless supply of artwork by professionals and fans that is variously excellent, clever, funny, innovative, and numerous degrees of awesome.

We make a regular practice at ComicsAlliance of spotlighting particular artists and/or specific bodies of work, but there's just so much great work to see that we've initiated Best Art Ever (This Week), a weekly depository for just some of the virtually countless pieces of especially compelling artwork that we come across in our regular travels across the digital media landscape. Some of it's new, some of it's old, some of it's created by working professionals, some of it's created by talented fans, and some of it's endearingly stupid. All of it's awesome.

If you like Best Art Ever (This Week), then you should also check out Best Movie Art Ever (This Week), a new feature at our sister site Moviefone, featuring illustrations based on the worlds of film and television. This week the site celebrates the work of Periscope Studio, the Portland, Oregon artist collective that paid tribute to the works of Hayo Miyazaki in a series of beautiful pin-ups.

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@comicsalliance.com. Artists, feel free to send in your own work - we won't judge you (publicly).
