    I first wrote about illustrator, animation art director and painter Eyvind Earle back in 2006. Since 2007, I’ve been waiting for a new site promised to be “Coming soon April 2008” at eyvindearle.com to materialize; but as the promise is unchanged as we approach April of 2009, that looks unlikely.

    “From Washington to Obama in Less than 4 Minutes” is the description line on this little amusement by “HerBunk”, the handle of a YouTube contributor who describes himself as “an old retired guy who likes to play with computers”.

    Boyko Kolev is a Bulgarian artist about whom I have little background information. Most of what I know is simply gleaned from his web site, which offers no biographical profile, and his space on deviantART, which has a few odds and ends.

    Urban Sketchers is a group blog that I first wrote about last November. Since then, hundreds of additional sketches have been added; and the blog’s layout has been updated, with a wider format and better organizatation (though I still wish they would somehow limit the Flickr slideshow widget at page bottom to a single page…
