Link & Image o’ the Week for 16/08/09

Hi reader! I’m writing to you from wintry Melbourne, Australia. I flew down from Darwin a few days ago for an extended visit to my home town.

We have a new Link o’ the Week over at Shiggy.com.au! This week’s lucky recipient is illustrator Phil McAndrew who has a smashing blog called the Marvellous Mustache Factory! Phil’s wonderful art is full of hilariously grotesque characters and charming facial hairs. He also makes comics, which you can find here. I’ve been in love with Phil’s inky linework and off-kilter sense of humour for a while now, and it’s great to see him continually producing amazing work.

Also at Shiggy.com.au is a new Image o’ the Week:

I drew this last year for my lady friend Lucy. I might make something else in this faux “cut-out” style. It was fun.

Anyway, I’m gonna go enjoy some more of these Melbourne weathers. Seeing “District 9″ tonight. I’m a big fan of Neill Blomkamp’s short films. I highly recommend Alive in Joburg, which served as inspiration for his feature debut.

Later!
