The Comic Art of Evan Evans

The Ice Skate 2006 by Evan Evans

Okay. I found this comic artist talking favorably about my new t-shirt on the Ukulele Forum at King David Ukulele Station , a French Uke blog.

Evan Evans has a handful of great comics on his blog - like the one above.

He needs to update his blog or he will never be able to compete at the blogger festival, but as far as his comics go, they are very clever and well-drawn!

So, have a look at the Comic Art of Evan Evans

"Adam 'Ape Lad' Koford's Laugh-Out-Loud Cats are now available in book form. 'I'm selling signed and drawn in copies on my blog, or unsigned and undrawn in copies via Lulu,' says the author/illustrator." Link. (via boingboing)

I can't wait for my copy to arrive. And neither can my cat. It will be a treat.

John Webber, Artist of Pacific Culture (b.1751-d.1793)

"John Webber, the officially appointed artist for Captain James Cook’s third voyage of discovery around the Pacific (1776-1780), along with William Ellis, surgeon’s second mate on the Discovery, provided perhaps the most comprehensive and unprecedented visual record of any of Cook’s voyages. After leaving England, Webber and Ellis drew and painted the Kerguelen Islands in the far southern Indian Ocean, and Adventure Bay in Van Diemen’s Land (renamed Tasmania in 1855), before moving on to Tonga and Tahiti, then the northwest coast of America, the Unalaska Islands and Siberia’s Kamchatka Peninsula, before returning along the coasts of Southeast Asia. The two artists made drawings and watercolour paintings of everything that came within their ambit, creating the first accurate ethnographic record of Pacific culture. Captain Cook's voyage" -
