Catching up on some remaindered art links before I start getting into new stuff, hopefully next week.<\/p>\n

Lines and Colors<\/a> generally mentions some very worthwhile artists. I was particularly taken with their post about Ree Treweek<\/a>, an artist whose work reminds me a bit of Brian Froud<\/a>. Ree is a South African artist, though her style shows influences from all over.<\/p>\n

Ree (pen name for Cherie) Treweek is a South African artist and illustrator. Her fascinatingly detailed illustrations and drawings usually start as an ink drawing that she brings into Photoshop to be fully developed, occasionally in collaboration with Jannes Hendrikz.<\/p>\n

Gorillaz has gone on to be by far the most successful virtual band ever, selling millions of records.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
