Best Art Ever (This Week) - 04.26.13
By Andy Khouri
We make a regular practice at ComicsAlliance of spotlighting particular artists or specific bodies of work, but because cartoonists, illustrators and their fans share countless numbers of great images on sites like Flickr, Tumblr, DeviantArt and seemingly infinite art blogs that we’ve created Best Art Ever (This Week), a weekly depository for just some of the pieces of especially compelling artwork that we come across in our regular travels across the Web. Some of it’s new, some of it’s old, some of it’s created by working professionals, some of it’s created by future stars, some of it’s created by talented fans, and some of it’s endearingly silly. All of it’s awesome.
Check out this week’s Best Art Ever on ComicsAlliance!
Not really fan art, since it’s a variant cover, but maybe some inspiration for your MORNING GLORIES fan art. Be sure to submit it by Friday!

New Iron Fist Clothing Collection Features Cheeky Superheroine Apparel
Just in time for convention season, Iron Fist Clothing (not to be confused with Iron Fist, the Marvel superhero) has unveiled a Spring/Summer capsule collection entitled Super Bitches that features pin-up styled artwork of superheroines and villains. Known for their eclectic catalogue of monster-themed high heels and glam collaborations with RuPaul’s Drag Race, the LA-based clothing label collaborated with artist Lora Zombie to create this cheeky comic-inspired print to showcase fierce and empowered super-women in a shared feminine and feminist light.

Batwoman & Boston: Strong
As you may well be aware, I took on a few pre-con commissions last week, in preparation for Boston Comic Con. Due to the horrors that occurred in Boston last Monday, as well as the tense pursuit of the suspects involved, the convention was cancelled. I was however still left with a stack of drawings to do, which I’ve slowly been working my way through. Above is the first.
Please do contemplate donating to One Fund - Boston in support of those affected by the awful events of last week.
Best,
Joe

Disney’s ‘Haunted Mansion’ Ride Gets An Arkham Asylum Makeover
Inspired by prominent art from Disney’s famous Haunted Mansion attraction, artist Abraham Lopez has created “Haunted Arkham Asylum,” featuring Batman and other characters in his universe portrayed in “stretch art.” The idea is that the images at the top seem perfectly sedate, until they are stretched to reveal a far more sinister situation than previously believed.

Boston Comic Con Postponed Over Area Security Concerns
By Andy Khouri
As a consequence of the ongoing security concerns in the area as law enforcement officials pursue a suspect in this week’s tragic Boston Marathon bombings and violence in nearby Watertown and at MIT, the Hynes Convention Center has suspended all events. Among those is of course the Boston Comic Con, scheduled for this weekend but now postponed until further notice.
