Artists
Peter de Seve and
Carter Goodrich share similar career arcs. Both began their illustration careers in early 80's New York, drawing many businessmen and computers for trade magazines. Both became New Yorker cover artists. As the print market became challenged, both artists found new demand for the talents in emerging media, creating the look of the characters in animated films. Goodrich worked on
Ratatouille,
Despicable Me, and
Brave. De Seve is responsible for all the characters in the
Ice Age films.

Welcome to
mcbess, a land of
odd illustrations in black and white*, something of a
dark and dingy take on Merry Melodies, where
the men are bearded, and
the ladies are toothy, busty (and often topless, in a vaguely NSFW cartoony way). There are also some
large-scale illustrations with all those elements, and more. Matthieu Bessudo, aka mcbess, is also in a band,
The Dead Pirates, and his art and music met with the video
Wood (Vimeo;
also on YouTube; more info
here).

It has now been several years since Jacquie Lawson, an English artist living in the picturesque village of Lurgashall in Southern England, created an animated Christmas card in 2000. The e-card, featuring her dog, Chudleigh, her cats, and her 15th-century cottage, was sent to a few friends for their amusement. Those friends sent the e-card to others, and within weeks Jacquie was inundated with requests from all over the world to design more e-cards. [more inside]

Love or fight is a little animation by Boris Hoppek, and while visiting, don't miss his
bimbo sculptures. Then, take a quick spin over to
Noodle Town to meet the residents. And if you haven't yet overdosed on cute, visit the 10 second flash animations at
itching hands...these quirky little primitives and stick figures seem to be quite the rage among illustrators.
