A Star Wars reference is rare on Colossal, but this new print by Anton Marrast is exceptionally genius. Pick up a copy via S6.
The Dutch Icon collective, headed by Hemmo de Jonge, has an impressive collection of royalty-free work for sale. The examples above are just two of the 99 sets they’ve drawn to date, all of which are sold exclusively through iStockPhoto (which sadly means there’s no way to buy the complete series as a single set). The consistency and proportions are perfect throughout — alongside Drew Wilson’s Pictos sets, these are among the best stock icons I’ve seen.

Glenn Beck illustrated by Daniel Clowes (via Andy Kelly):
“I was asked by the NYT to draw Glenn Beck for the cover of the Sunday magazine — apparently, he wasn’t going to sit down for a photo-shoot with the Times and so they had to hire an illustrator for their big profile. … I turned in the illustration on a Monday and was told that Beck had in fact agreed to come in and sit for a photo over the weekend, so they couldn’t use my illustration. Thanks for telling me. The back-and-white photo they used was perhaps a bit more complimentary to Mr. Beck, so I’d say he made a good call.”
“Haircut” is Ken Garduno’s contribution to Seb Mesnard’s Scissorhands 20th blog, a tribute for the anniversary of Tim Burton’s 1990 fairytale, dedicated to the memories of Vincent Price and Stan Winston.
