    I first wrote about Elizabeth Traynor in a post in 2006, in which I expressed my admiration in particular for her scratchboard illustrations (and gave a brief description of the scratchboard process). In addition to her scratchboard work (images above, 1 & 4), her online portfolio also showcases her work in pen and ink, often…

    Heritage Auctions is an auction house that, like Sotheby’s, puts images of their items to be auctioned, notably including artworks, online in relatively high resolution. Unlike Sotheby’s (and Christie’s), Heritage doesn’t constrain its hi-res images to a zooming box; instead giving you a high res image that you can view as a whole. The tradeoff,…

    Since the jolt of receiving my Coraline Mystery Box I’ve been understandably curious about the upcoming animated movie, and equally frustrated that I can’t yet find a significant repository of Coraline concept art (though I did come across some very early concept drawings here). I’ve also noticed that the Coraline movie web site is now…

    Ronald Kurniawan is a Los Angeles based illustrator who graduated from the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. His highly stylized imagery combines animals and natural forms with geometric constructs, typographic elements, mechanical devices, odd characters and cultural ephemera into marvelous, collage-like visual smorgasbords. His characters careen, gambol and fly through unlikely environments, alternately…
