Congratulations to Kevin Forbes, our winner of the Cloudscape Comic Battle Round 7 ‘Brainstorm’!

Here are our top three:

2nd place – Michael J. Cohen

3rd place – Zach Allan

See the full results here.

Now let’s see who triumphs in round 9 ‘What Ever Happened to Jack?’

We only have three entries this week. I would like to think it’s because everyone is out and having fun with the summer. Jack thinks it’s because we were too passive-aggressive :P

Nonetheless, here are our entries. It’s time to get our vote on!

Parka Blogs Artbook Reviews

I’m not sure if everyone’s already aware or not, but Parka Blogs is a fantastic resource for those of you who like to collect artbooks. If you’ve wondered if you should buy an artbook, but have been deceived by nice covers in the past, see if it’s been reviewed on Parka. He does a great review, shows photos of the interior, as well as a flip through so you can get an idea of what it looks like.

Whirring Blender Design Challenge


Check out Carly Monardo’s Whirring Blender Design Challenge, where she chooses a subject matter and an illustrator whose style she admires, and puts the two in a blender with magic and unicorns.

The end result is a beautiful and creative milkshake of rainbows and good illustration. (The pic shown is Cloud drawn in Gipi’s style)
