I have a thing for anthropomorphic cats, especially in 1920’s clothes, drinking, shooting tommy guns, and (most importantly) looking at each other exasperatedly. So Tracy Butler’s webcomic Lackadaisy is right up my alley. I love her fascination with words, her black humour, but most of all I love her expressions (in both facial and body language).

You can check out more of Tracy Butler’s work on the Lackadaisy website, her Tumblr, her DeviantArt, and you can follow her on Twitter.

I love this sheet of notes. It’s enormous though, so I had to chose a favourite bit. Of course it had to be Ivy. Definitely click on the link and check out the full thing though.

Long someone that every artist has fawned over for his clean, powerful art with a pitch perfect ability for delivering a story, with his work on “Flash Gordon” we’ve found an artist find […]

    Artist August: Tom Scioli [Art Feature]

    Full disclosure: I had another artist slated for this spot up until quite recently. I went with a pick that I felt was an important artist in the history of comics, and was excited to spotlight their work. However, when I started collecting pieces, I felt nothing.

Her work lies somewhere between the self-reflection of Jeffery Brown and the raucous energy of James Kochalka, examining herself and her surroundings through the lens of a humorist.
