Best Art Ever (This Week)

The proliferation of social media is an incredible boon for lovers of comic book art, design and illustration. Sites like Flickr, Tumblr, DeviantArt and other countless blogs and feeds bombard us with a ceaseless supply of artwork by professionals and fans that is variously excellent, clever, funny, innovative, and numerous degrees of awesome.

We make a regular practice at ComicsAlliance of spotlighting particular artists and/or specific bodies of work, but there's just so much great work to see that we've initiated Best Art Ever (This Week), a weekly depository for just some of the virtually countless pieces of especially compelling artwork that we come across in our regular travels across the digital media landscape. Some of it's new, some of it's old, some of it's created by working professionals, some of it's created by talented fans, and some of it's endearingly stupid. All of it's awesome.

NOTE: The artwork compiled in Best Art Ever (This Week) is found on countless art blogs, DeviantArt links and reader submissions, but it has to be said that an inordinate amount of material in this week's edition was found on Context Is For The Weak. Curated by Brent Keane, it has become a great resource for this feature and for comic book-loving Tumblr users. There's always beautiful stuff there, and this week we ended up reblogging more than a fair share.
