Urban Sketchers is my favorite blog in the whole world right now. It was linked on drawn.ca a few weeks back and I added it to my reader and pretty much every other post has a drawing that I want to set as my desktop wallpaper.

Jordan Crane, an artist I really, really dig, recently launched a webcomics anthology site called What Things Do, and there is some excellent work there that I just can’t say enough nice things about. Go see, go see.

I’m probably not going to shock or scandalize too many of you with the revelation that I have a thing for the furry animal-headed people, and whenever something representative of that school of picture-making shows up and shows us what can be done with them in the right hands, it makes me want to hand out a million high-fives to all parties involved. Funny Animal Books is a comic I’ve been reading for the last little bit and the things that that dude can do with a brush and ink, it’s just delicious.

Continuing the theme of excellent comics featuring people that are also animals, I would like to present for your consideration The Propogandist, by one S.M. Vidaurri.

I know it’s not exactly a webcomic, but if you’re enjoying the Apex Predator series, I’d lay paper on the likelihood that you’ll also like Simon’s Cat.

Jason Brubaker is another one of a growing number of webcomics creators who got their start in the print world and are bringing their expertise online. Every page of his comic, ReMIND, is gorgeously colored and full of energetic textures, and every page is also huge, which I like in a comic, because I sure do like looking at pictures. The comic isn’t the only worthwhile thing about his site, though; as he’s also diligently keeping a record of what he’s learning from the webcomic effort and posting regularly to his blog. And he’s not shy at all about sharing his knowledge, either, as there are some fine tutorials on his site that explore the comic-making process.
And that is my pick for webcomic wednesday. Have you got something you’re digging this week? Link me up in the comments section and I’ll have a look!

Probably old news to many of you who are regular webcomics readers, but I’ve been really digging The Abominable Charles Christopher. It is seriously one of the most smile-inducing comics online. I am kind of glad, though, that I was late to the party in reading it, because if I’d been familiar with it half a year ago, I probably wouldn’t have done a fox story, given some of the similarities.

So one of my favorite things right now is Tod Wills’ comic Ekwara, a cartoon fantasy full of gorgeous, cheerful artwork that reminds me a whole bunch of 1980′s fantasy films like Willow or The Dark Crystal. Ekwara started out as a weekly full-color comic, all done up with watercolors, but recently Tod’s stepped up his game and has gone weekdaily, giving up color in favor of moving the story along much faster. The man is some kind of machine, as in addition to Ekwara he does two other comics, Crimson Flag and Dracula, and manages to keep his Zazzle store stocked with new and excellent artwork every week on top of that. These are initiatives that I as a voter can get behind.
(there are not actually any cricket bats in Ekwara, the title of this post was unnecessarily misleading in that respect, and for that I apologize)

Oh my gosh you guys, my buddy Tod Wills (you remember Tod, right? Of the sensational internet web-comic, Ekwara?) just set himself up an internet store where he’s selling all of his very cool original artwork. He isn’t charging nearly enough for them and so a bunch of them have already been sold so you should go have a look and find something you like before there aren’t any of them left. Serious, folks. Ground floor opportunity, here.
