Morning at Situ Gunung II by Juhe

The moment when you first wake up in the morning is the most wonderful of the twenty-four hours. No matter how weary or dreary you may feel, you possess the certainty that, during the day that lies before you, absolutely anything may happen. And the fact that it practically always doesn’t, matters not a jot. The possibility is always there. ~Monica Baldwin

This is probably the only thing I keep up with and it seems like I have an endless amount of comics to go through. I didn’t realize until I started doing this that I read a whole heck of a lot of webcomics. What do you think?

Got more comics? Let me know and I’ll include them. While my favorites are many, I’ll make sure to include yours as well. Have you own comic and want a plug? Send it my way and I’ll see what I can do. Happy Wednesday all!

If you haven’t noticed by now (hope it was nice and dry under that rock), I am a lover of comic books and webcomics a like. I don’t think there’s ever been a day when I haven’t spent a least a few moments laughing because of something I’ve read online or off. I love them. In comics, you tend to see some pretty nifty and out there typography, and with the popularity of web comics growing, a lot of people have started creating some really great fonts for artists to use in their strips. Here’s a great round up of some of my favorite free Comic Fonts.

I realize that my artist showcases have been predominately female, so for your pleasure, today’s showcase is the talented artist David Lanham (who also happens to be a guy). David grew up in Florida but currently resides in North Carolina, living as an illustrator and designer.

“My artwork is made to be fun and enjoyable as well as a bit open-ended to invite the viewer to add their own story to the imagery. Digital works are created on a Mac, using Photoshop and/or Illustrator.” David went to school for drawing and design at the University of Central Florida. Now, he creates beautiful pixel art and icons for Iconfactory, and spends much of his spare time creating wonderfully vivid illustrations.

My favorite aspect of David’s art is his unusual subjects. From monsters to ninjas, his art takes the imagination everywhere, all the while keeping true to the fantastical elements he portrays. Over and over again, his art has turned up on my desktops. If you view his portfolio, almost all of the images in his gallery can be downloaded as stellar wallpapers. If you think you could use a splash of color in your life, check out David’s art.
