There is some great art hanging in the most unlikely places. Places where generic reprints dutifully fulfill their obligation to not offend anyone. But sometimes, illustrators like San Diego’s Lyndi Parrett (@Lyndiparrett) provide the visuals for places like the housing at the University of California San Diego. Parrett recently used Twitter to share three pictures of the panels she created. The simplicity of those panels can be found in some of her other work at lyndiparrett.com. The site also houses some of Parrett’s extremely detailed illustration skills.
Crewest calls itself “Downtown LA’s premier graffiti gallery.” Its director, Man One (@crewest), is an artist himself and is all over social media. I heard about his art, and the gallery, when Man One shared this piece on Twitter during a recent trip to Monterey Bay. You can see art from Crewest, and more of Man One’s work, on his Flickr page. You can also catch Crewest on MySpace and Facebook. For the latest gallery news, make sure to subscribe to the gallery’s blog and don’t forget to visit crewest.com for everything else.
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.
