Comic Twart: Minimilast Challenge

Last month I shared some pictures from this very cool blog by comic book artists called Comic Twart. Each week a group of artists take on a selected subject and then they post their work. This week: an exercise in minimalism. How amazing would Mitch Breitweiser's (above) Captain America image be as a teaser for next summer Cap movie? Below is Chris Samnee's extremely cool minimalist take on the Justice League.

Comic Twart: A Comic Artist Jam Session

This evening, after a marathon reading session, I came across a wonderfully diverting blog called Comic Twart (TWitter ARTists I believe).  I enjoy seeing work from artists when they take a stab at characters that we don't typically get to see them draw or create pieces that don't fit a comic book format.

The site boasts contributions from artists such as Chris Samnee (Thor: The Mighty Avenger), Ron Salas (Existence 2.0), Declan Shalvey (28 Days Later), Mitch Breitweiser (Captain America: Patriot) and more.  The artists have taken on versions of Nick Fury, Archie, Man-Thing, Captain Marvel, Popeye, the Italian Spider-Man (hilarious!) and many, many more stunning illustrations.

Above is Francesco Francavilla's take on a Marvel What If?: What if the Avengers were Earth's First Heroes?  Below is Evan Shaner's Italian Spider-Man, which is as hilariously dated as the spoof video that inspired it (you can find it on YouTube).
