With one week to go in the Tour de France (in which, incidentally, the soap seems to be winning instead of the sport), I thought it would be nice to draw your attention to Flemish illustrator Jeroom’s Tour De France Panorama which he drew for Humo Magazine.
It’s completely for you to enjoy on the Humo Tour De France Website, with Jeroom’s unique combination of boring infographics and quirky absurdity.
These days, Humo is running a series on what VIP’s read during their summer holidays. Ever Meulen provided the illustration. And it’s great. As usual.
Brian Lee O’Malley, a.k.a. destroyerzooey, has posted the strips he did for Comics Festival 2007 on his Flickr. I’m not really a fan of Scott Pilgrim, but I do like the Kim Pine strip a lot.
Be Safe And Smart on MetaFilter is a brilliant spoof on “Be safe and smart” ads that feature stupid furry creatures warning children about the dangers of modern life, and computers and the internet in particular.
If you’re not up to speed with MetaFilter, it’s one of the original “group blogs” where people could sign up and post “articles” or links to websites that endeared or enraged them. It’s also one of the original examples of how such a community can’t possibly be run without resorting to arbitrary ruling.
Central Illustration is a great resource for illustration talent in all shapes and styles, with works by (a.o.) and Louise Brierly. Not advisable while you’re supposed to be working, I gather.

Imagine you just bought a stuffed Snowy just because it looks cute, and you don’t know anything else about it than that it’s white, fluffy and cute. Luckily, there’s Moulinsart providing you with the necessary details. Or freaking you out, as it may be.
This is what my colleagues do when work is slow… I wonder what sound it makes when it gets thrown in the fryer.
Pretty cool illustration by Robert Ullman, there. I like the mix of ligne claire with hints of classic sunday morning cartoons. Neat !
Also check out Robert’s blog, full of graphical goodness.
Lambik, a very popular character from the very popular Flemish comic Suske En Wiske, (and inspiration for the name of one of Europe’s most famous comics stores) likes mussels, apparently.
