Hero

I was sent this video today and was blown away.  The video shows the artist, Miguel Endara, drawing a portrait of his father, titled Hero.  The entire drawing is composed of tiny dots created with a Micron technical drawing pen.  It's like a Georges Seurat painting except in black and white.

Tom Gauld

I recently came across the work of Tom Gauld.  He is an illustrator and cartoonist based in London whose style reminds me a bit of Edward Gorey's - it's simple, quirky, the textures created are great and work is also hilarious, just like Gorey's.  While I was perusing his website, I came across this very amusing alphabet.
