What do you get when you mix the last leader of the Nazi party with a popular science fiction theme and 17 syllables? You get Hitler killed by a mad time-traveling scientist, as illustrated by Nathan Olsens (@nateomedia) and accompanied by a haiku written by Robert Olsen. The pair run Haiku Comics. Go check out their site to see the full strip. How did I find out about the site? I noticed it when Olsens shared this panel on Twitter, of course.
Ever feel like you need to “embrace” the latest tools to create your art? Well, you don’t have to love the tools to work with them. Witness Jensie Tolman (@JMTolman). She recently tweeted her preference for non-digital drawing tools. “I hate drawing on the computer, but I like this marker effect.” Below is the artwork that accompanied her tweet. She told me that the whole thing was done with Photoshop and a graphics tablet. If you like this piece, make sure to check out more of her work on her Etsy site. It’s there that I found that Tolman has a a type of synesthesia which makes her see music. If you’re as curious and ignorant as I am, read about synesthesia on Wikipedia.
How do you spend your time when you’re on a plane, heading back to Southern California after spending time with the fam? If you’re an artist like Tatiana Krasovski (@hey_tani), you might sketch that time away. After getting back to L.A. earlier this month, Krasovski shared this sketch on Twitter. Krasovski is an illustrator and designer originally from Kharkiv, Ukraine. If you like this sketch, check out more of her work on her site, illustratk.com.
