Dropping different colored fluids into other fluids and photographing the splashes is an art.

Here’s a whole slew of images. Pretty interesting stuff.

New James Bond Covers

Artist Michael Gillette has done a series of covers for new James Bond Hard covers. They’re tremendous. Especially if you love 60s pop art stylings.

Baroque Star Wars

We’ve seen Steampunk Star Wars. This site takes the designs even further back.

Personally, while I like Steampunk, I have always liked the Baroque period designs and art.

Great Books on Figure Drawing

Back in the day I used to hang out with Astro City artist Brent Anderson, who turned me on to an artist who influenced a whole generation of comic book illustrators. Andrew Loomis. His books have been passed around the Marvel Comics offices and elsewhere. Yet, many were out of print. Fortunately, you can download them as PDFs from here. There are also some other classic illustration books.
