Sandra Chevrier creates strange and dramatic portraits by adding comic book collages to watercolored portrait features. Superman, Wonder Woman and the Green Lantern fly and punch in the place of the portraits' eyes, noses and mouths. ...

Chase Van Weerdhuizen is only a freshman at Minneapolis College of Art and Design, but he's already churning out some lovely pieces, from his series of watercolors illustrating favorite songs to digitally colored fanart to ink wash commission pieces and quickie sketches. ...

Argentinian artist Paula Andrade draws solitary girls, witchy women and ladies who are something more than human. But each woman, no matter peculiar, begs us to figure out her story, and sometimes to dream about the face that sits behind the mask. ...

Kelsey Wroten puts an unexpected spin on fantasy and pulp scenes, drawing a gun-toting space queen who looks like she could wipe the floor with John Carter, a monster who fears what he might find on the other side of a door, a lady who runs with wolves and isn't afraid to sink her teeth into a little human flesh. When she isn't dancing her pen across the faces of mythical beasts and mighty ...

Sakiroo Choi takes Norman Rockwell's classic Saturday Evening Post paintings and pulls at their rubbery masks, stretching them into unexpected cartoon tributes. That's when he isn't outfitting presidents, artists, fictional characters and celebrities with blazers, braces and giant lemon heads, or blending athlete animals with superheroes and villains. ...

It's appropriate, then, that Smallwood has such a fascination with crime stories. In between posting sample panels from Dream Thief, he's been sketching up moments from crime ...

Sadler frequently works in the medium of cartoon scrawls, creating images that are halfway between a character design and an explosion of marker. And his illustrations frequently walk a tight line between narrative and abstract, depicting figures that are once clear and alien, with ...

Double Fine artist Nathan Stapley organizes fictional characters into societies: the Society of Fictional Time Travelers, the Society of TV and Movie Dads, the Society of Television Duos, the Society of Robert Niro Characters. And he pairs up groups you might not normally expect to inhabit the same family portrait: the Misfits with Addams Family and the ladies of TLC with Disney's fine ...

Hamish Steele's fanart shows just how an image can be rich and silly all at the same time. His redesigns of Batman and his fellow obsessives, Marvel Universe characters, Pokémon trainers and Middle Earth dwellers are both fantastically manic and visually fascinating. ...
