The
artists of
Draw2D2 are given two "geeky things" based on a monthly theme, and then have two weeks to create mash-up illustrations. Art is posted every other Thursday at 12:00pm EST, with a poll for the public to vote for their favorites. Artists with the most votes can show their process in a
spotlight post.

Graphic novels without words are the silent movies of the printed page. Now, the inestimable and erudite
vacapinta first directed us to the father of the genre, one
Frans Masereel. Up to recently, the most notable of Masereel's successors was
Lynd Ward, whose most famous work was
God's Man, subtitled
A Novel in Woodcuts. Here are some more
plates from
God's Man for sale. Yet more plates can be found, along with a bad midi, at the Texas based
Woodcuts - Lynn Ward: Gods' Man. And here are some
illustrations from Georgetwon University's Lauinger Library September 2001 exhibit
Lvnd Ward as Illustrator. Here, also, is
Graphic Witness: visual arts & social commentary - Lynd Ward. And here is his
Madman's Drum in its entirety. But now we have a contemporary working in the same vein--
Eric Drooker.

Broken Saints is a beautifully done flash animation. A little anime in feel with some strange sonic diversions every once in a while. The pacing is a little slow for my highly Americanized tastes, but it's gorgeous all the same.
