Loui Jover is a talented artist from Australia. "Right now I like making ink drawings on adhered together sheets of vintage book paper, there is a fragility to these images that I find interesting (as if the wind may blow them away at any moment) and the hand-drawn stark black lines against the intricately printed...
Serbian artist Endre Penovác renders fluffy felines with stark black watercolors and ink. Penovác heavily dilutes the pigments with water creating small rivers and splotches that perfectly mimic the texture of fur. You can see more of these on his website and over on Miss Moss. Update: Penovác has prints and originals available through Saatchi Art. More

We go back in time, to bring you urban art from the 1800s The artist in question is Andrew Fisher Bunner, he came from the United States and lived between 1841and1897. His works were gifted by Mrs. Fisher Bunner, in 1899, to the The Met Museum, that now holds his work. All of the drawings in this post, are centred in and around Venice, the famous Italian tourist spot, renown for its canal systems, that criss-cross, the beautiful seaside the city. In a way, it's as if each drawing was a small portal back in time, because what we are seeing in each illustration below, is the view the artist had of Venice in the 1880s and we are there with him to appreciate it.

Beautiful expressions centred around the eyes. The works of Author and Artist Alphonso Dunn. Not only does he create art, but has written a book to pass on the wisdom and experiences he has accumulated. Below is a mixture of ink drawings and colors. Some of them are finished, some are WIPs and the rest, minimalist. This third category might look at first glance, like an unfinished drawing, when it's in fact a completed one. As I mentioned at the top, the focus is placed on the eyes. With the other features of the face, playing a supporting actor's role. Many emotions illustrated by clear and meaningful expressions. When we see expressions in people, many of us have a mental and physical response to it. The mental one is more difficult to see, as you have to experience it personally. The physical one can be tested. Have someone else look at these pictures. Don't tell them why and don't stare at them. Notice their expression change, as they go through the images. See if it works... Ps. I gave the images some titles. A happy surprise. Press the Image to Enlarge it. A look of pity. Press the Image to Enlarge it. A moment of anger. Press the Image to Enlarge it.

We take a look back at some of the best pen and ink illustrators of the past, as well as some top names of today.
A post in which animals share the stage with humans. James T Rocke is a British Artist based in Sweden, currently working towards a BA(Hons) in Fine Art. All the drawings are created with an ink ballpoint pen. When I say that, the fist image that comes to mind is one of a mistake. That is because they are not easily corrected or hidden, it at all. The difficulty of the medium is one thing. The results and the detailing that Rocke is able to achieve is a different thing all together. We have different types of animals and humans, one of which is a celebrity. That said, the ones that steal the show for me, are the hands. I am always talking about emotions and expressions in portraits. If you have a look at your hand, it doesn't have eyes, a mouth or the intricacy of movement of a face. Still, you can see the message we are able to articulate with them, to be no less loud or clear. I hope you find your own favourite and remember to enjoy your Sunday. Ps.

We continue to be awed by Serbian artist Endre Penovác‘s ability to somehow control the unforgiving nature of water on paper to produce ghostly paintings of felines. As the mixture of water and black ink bleeds in every direction it appears to perfectly mimic the cat’s fur. In his newest pieces Penovác introduces elements of color and negative space to add a slightly new dimension. You can see more of his recent work on Facebook and Saatchi Art. More
