Drawn! The Illustration and Cartooning Blog

I’m currently enjoying the work of Mark Verhaagen. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen vector illustrations appear so lush and atmospheric.

Here’s something infinitely cool: Bobby S’s Desktop Wallpaper Project. Every Wednesday he’ll release a new piece of desktop wallpaper created by various artists. The wallpaper will be available in different monitor sizes (as well as PSP and iPhone versions). The project kicks off with three wallpapers so far — artwork from Tim Biskup, Mcbess, and IMAKETHINGS.

Drawn!’s own superstar Ward Jenkins is also one of the featured artists?

So what are you waiting for? You know your phone is feeling naked without some hip wallpaper…
