    I’ve had this exhibition listed in the Exhibitions list on the lines and colors sidebar for months now, and I’ve been looking forward to it for just as long. I was hoping to have a personal report for you by this time, but my schedule just isn’t letting me get to NY (or anywhere else)…

    I’m sure many of you are familiar with Drawn!, but if not, it’s a blog that would be of interest to almost anyone who reads lines and colors.

    Ed Lee draws cool ‘bots, wild characters, fantastic environments and nasty villains. He studied fine arts but his interest in such things led him to a career in commercial art (something I can identify with). He studied at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY, but lives and works in Korea. Lee is a concept artist and…

    I’ll start out by saying that I don’t know much about Justin Cherry. I know that he does terrific images, sometimes in comics outline style and sometimes painted in both traditional and digital media. I know that he is mentioned often (but briefly) on CGI sites, and at one time, he worked at Troika Games.…
