Beaton on the tempo

Ok, so this week's artist is the very historical Kate Beaton.
And by historical, I mean she draws historical figures in a fart joking manner.
Brilliant.

Yes, so Kate Beaton was born far up north in Nova Scotia, Canada. She obtained a history degree New Brunswick. In her time, she has worked and lived in several places, but is currently presiding in New York, North America. Art is mostly her hobby, though now is it a hobby that makes some dough, as she has a website with lovely t-shirts with historical figures on them. Isn't that grand?
Kate Beaton's work is....as shown, mostly comics, and also uncoloured. She has a focus on lines, since well, that's all there is. The comics she does on Hark! A Vagrant, were doodles she did while she was at work and she had spare time. It was all clearly for the laughs, because clearly, history is rip snorting hilarious!

Alien Art

That wasn't even a pun.

But anyways, today's artist is Emy Bitner.


http://introducingemy.deviantart.com/

Bitner is the creator of the web comic series Trying Human(ongoing) , the short web comic Alternating Current (completed) along with some horror anthology comic collaborations and an upcoming gothic horror art book EMpathy. Bitner is very convinced in the existence of aliens and so much of her art is filled with extraterrestrials, and delves into part of the genre of aliens that is not explored much, which is romance between aliens. Bitner's gothic horror art also delves into romance, though it is a bit on the dark side.
The pieces featured here are titled Rain and A Million Bright Ambassadors. Each is an example of her more favored art subjects.
