The bold color-schemed used in each can make these beers pop off any […]
The illustration work of Ahmed Sidky draws from many influences but focuses on characters. Sidky's work is influenced by skateboard culture and street art as well as pop-culture and music. These characters, artwork from his recent solo exhibit "The Late Great Nobody", are drawn with a clean and confident line but not spared any details. Despite the design and illustration style there is something personal about each piece. It nearly seems that Sidky explores a frame of mind or aspect of his personality with each character. He says in his statement, "The characters I draw are the manifestation of my many moods and thoughts as of late. In my explorations I have learned things about myself that may have been dormant or perhaps suppressed. Art is my therapy in many cases as I tend to rely on it to guide me through my heart and mind and teach me to accept myself for who I am as a person." See more of his illustrations after the jump.

book Illustrateur jeunesse, Amélie Graux est née à Paris. Elle manifeste très tôt un vif intérêt pour le dessin, le roquefort et la pêche aux crabes. Négligeant un moment les crustacés, elle étudie l'animation aux Arts Décoratifs de Paris et réalise son premier court-métrage « Qui veut du pâté de foie ?», primé à Annecy. Depuis elle illustre de nombreux livres, peuplés de bambins expressifs et polissons, chez divers éditeurs tels que Kaleïdoscope, les Arènes, Gallimard, Flammarion, Milan, Nathan, Didier Jeunesse et Little Urban, chez qui elle a sorti son tout premier livre tant qu’autrice-illustratrice : « Animal, le jour où je suis devenu loup », puis « Libres, le jour où j’ai libéré les animaux » et ne compte pas s’arrêter là. Elle a reçu le Prix des incorruptibles pour son album « C'est pas moi c'est mon loup » chez Milan et le prix Unicef en 2023. Le dessin est pour elle tel un muscle qu’elle doit travailler quotidiennement afin de le garder vivant, expressif. Alors elle remplit des tas et des tas de carnets et en a toujours un sur elle. Au cas où.
What are the hardest things to draw? HORSES. I drew a horse in fifth grade with pastel and it was so difficult, I almost gave up on my dreams then and there. (Where is that drawing now? Probably in the trash). So, when I got the invitation from Kate, my editor at Houghton Mifflin Harcourt

Evan Cohen’s latest comic sees a community of characters working together to travel through the panels of their own story. Aiming to create a kind of 21st Century parable, _Visions_ is an exploration of relationships, spiritual and physical, he says. “Set within a story about creation and ancient myth, it’s about the connections we share with our community and the world at large.”
Smithereens: [smith -uh-reenz] Plural Noun. 1. Small pieces, bits. Smithereens are tiny pieces, fragments of a larger thing. In this series of blog posts, I share small slivers of my process, thoughts on materials, and insights into the larger world of illustration. A couple of years ago when I dove into the publishing world, I learned quickly how little I knew about character development. Not only did I have to draw a character consistently, but also to individualize and understand their range of emotions. This is unfortunately not something I learned in school so it’s been an interesting journey to find a way to convey expressions in my characters. Because the lines are so simple and sparse, every little nuance or tick can drastically change the entire mood and emotion of the situation. For this reason, it usually takes drawing the characters 6 million times before I start to see their personalities come out. Once that’s done, I can play more with their emotions. The most valuable tool I can use to understand and convey emotion, is to feel it myself.
