FOR ARTISTS/FANS...
The Comic Archive - A collection of interviews with fans, artists, inkers, pencillers, writers, publishers, and pretty much everyone else involved in creating comics and graphic novels. Run by my friend Mike Furth, an amazing artist and writer himself. He's currently working on his own graphic novel, No Going Back, with the talented artist Anna Wieszczyk. Sneak peeks of the artwork are on her Instagram HERE. Linda McBain Cuyler - Is she my aunt? Yes. Is she a fabulous and nationally recognized textile artist? Also yes. Check out her fabulous artwork, which combines beauty with whimsy. James Norbury - James' art is phenomenal, with beautiful graphics and style. He's working on a new graphic novel, and he posts snippets of it on Twitter @NorburyJames. Jonah Newman Comics - I had the great pleasure to work with Jonah Newman in a new anthology the Fairfield Scribes published with WestportWRITES, In Death, the Gift of Life. He has lots of amazing graphics on his website and more work forthcoming, so I definitely recommend checking out his site! Pixabay - A fantastic website where artists and photographers share their work for free. It's a great place to find stunning visuals to use for any occasion, from websites to book covers. While the art is free to use, you can show your appreciation to the artists by tipping them through the website. |
