January Art Picks (part 1)
Irish Comic Art Picks. Pages, commissions, doodles, works in progress and everything in between, this feature shows you some of the best work by Irish Comic Artists from around the web every month. Feel free to submit work and links through any ICN links on social media (Facebook or Twitter) or Stephen on Twitter or Instagram. Remember, support artists and follow their links.
FAO the current pool (and those looking to be included):
Artists have the option to submit a piece on any given month rather than leave it up to myself to choose (via social media, or email mentioned below). This may be for a reason like you’ve a book coming out that month and want an image used that could promote said book. This can be in the form of a Dropbox link or a link to a website/social media post. It’s an option for each artist to use if they feel the need. If nothing is received from an artist, then the selection reverts to the current system where I choose the piece. The email account also means that artists who don’t do social media can also get their art into the Art Picks feature.
The email address is: stephenartpicks[at]gmail[dot]com

I don't really understand painting and I find it difficult and exhausting and it makes no sense and suddenly looks good after looking terrible for ages, but I try it sometimes anyway pic.twitter.com/UE8S1pOoGH

Luke Skywalker, in his prime, as a Jedi. Nuff Said. The Rise of Kylo Ren issue 2 is out tomorrow. This could sell out too so get it early. I had Goosebumps reading @CharlesSoule 's script for this pic.twitter.com/Wv59sYBWXX

He-Man! Learning about composition, the figure in relation to the background and shade and tone. Also line weights, varying the line to create texture and depth.
