This One's For The Great Bob Peak

July 28, 2011

DJ MIKE 2600 GETS US UP TO SPEED: Remember those incredible Olympic stamps from a couple days back? Well Mike Davis came in hot this morning with this little link: The Legendary illustrator Bob Peak!

Here’s a link to Bob’s site! Much respect, sir.

Learn something from this guy. Color, pacing, negative space, linework, realism…so much to savor. Wow. Learn from the masters, you little pukes.

I DON’T WHY I DO THIS: I’ll get links sent in, from good people out there, and I’ll go lurk around through the pages, mouthbreath all over them, and then, like big ol’ dumb ass, sit on them and let them go cold. I don’t get it. Well here’s another jam-packed link from some time ago, that I forgot to post, and the thing’s kinda chilly. Hell, you might’ve even seen it? Sorry, if that’s the case.

Portland buddy Tyler Lang from the effervescent Always With Honor sent this link in right here, and let’s warm it up with some clicks!

Go: “US Army Patches & Crests.”

Get in there and dig on these threads. Incredible stuff. My favorite of the bunch.
