Oh Snoopy Bones, you’ll never be as funny as regular Snoopy. Cripes. Let’s count a few of the different projects that have done basically this same thing, keeping in mind that I encourage this project to be done as many times as possible: Jason Freeny, Hyungkoo Lee, and Angela Moramarco. The project you’re looking at at the moment is called “Character Study” and it’s by illustrator / designer / artist Michael Paulus.

Hey how much do you know about comics? A lot? Good. Not a lot? S’ok! Right here I’m going to talk about what every comic book really, really comes down to – the single frame in every important comic storyline where everything starts. What I’ve got here is ten of those moments from my own humble comic collection, ten moments that everything comes down to. Take a peek at how these single boxes are constructed – and see how similar they are.

Hello ! And welcome to the first limited collection of single cuttout frames right out the comic books! I’m sure you’ve noticed the trend o’ people goin on into their illustrated novels, chopping out single frames and posting them on the interwebs. When they’re by themselves, they mean so much more! Or so much different. Below you’ll find the first bunch of frames I’ve begun harvesting for World Famous Design Junkies. These are all from Spiderman comics. Spiderman web spinning or web spinning related comics for shiznil. Find the greatness in the singular frame right here.

Adam Koford is an illustrator who knows his space. He’s a comic artist who knows where his box is. He knows how important, essential, and healthy it can be to climb around in and cultivate a single culture. His is of these internets. Not just that though, cats. Cats and comics. Koford has a narrative running that contains two cats who are homeless, but know the solids they can do inside a single frame.

One joke each, always conscious of the media.

Being a boy in the late 80’s and early 90’s meant that I played with action figures. Like most the kids I knew, I had TMNTurtles, legos, and all that fun stuff, plus a bunch of He-Man figures. I don’t know where they came from, I never even watched He-Man! But I know the characters because I had the figures. The man who did the poster print you see above and below knew his stuff. He was an AVID He-Man fan. He knows so much about He-Man that he hypothesized the history of He-Man and did this print: “Mr. Villians Class of 1983.”

Classy.

Should you ever find yourself in feudal Japan, you’re gonna need, NEED!, to know what symbols are what. And I’m not talking about signs for the bathroom and the sword hut, I mean crests. Badges that express heraldry in Japan since 900 A.D., peaking in production and diversity in the feudal age. Lots of badges made right around there in time. In this post there are over a hundred unique crests, each of them marked and categorized, each of them reproduced faithfully from the greatest book in the world, Ernst Lehner’s long out of print hard and soft cover symbologists dream book “Symbols, Signs, & Signets.”

The stash is here. Cliff Chiang’s sent us in a box of fabulous flats. Prints from the streets of comicdom. Everything we need to start our insane Cliff Chiang collection! First, a set of Atomic Bombshells postcard-sized prints. Then, an insanely colorful signed print of the whole gang from Dr. Thirteen: Architecture and Mortality (fear the Nazi ape.) Next, two more brilliant prints: Batman over Gotham and a totally bad warrior woman battling a minotaur that even if you don’t recognize, you’ll have to love. And the crowning jewels: prints of both the Electra/Flashdance record cover AND my favorite Batgirl/Purple Rain.

This newest set of his is just what the comic nerd ordered: Marvel Comics!

Enlarge your mind with these vague old testament references. You Noah’s Ark wannabe. These are brand new, made for a meat market / deli in Toronto. A bunch of people worked together to bring this together, including a designer, a creative director, an art director, an illustrator, and to the most important degree(?), the client. Maybe the Bible had a little bit to do with it.

Let me tell you what’s in. Dead, hilarious things. Zombies are hilarious. Not always, but most of the time. Monster mash – thats the dance you should be doing if you want to be totally hot right now. That’s what the one called Kristian Hammerstad is up on. Dead things. Eyeballs falling out and skin burning off. Frightening wildness. All illustrated, color, nice lines.
