From Romania, the latest project of the Hardcomics crew.
Who is George? What does he look like? We have no idea. And so we brought together 20 of our favorite Romanian illustrators and comic artists to tell us more about this illusive personage. The result is The Book of George…
For more info, check out The Site of George for a multi-media infographic 3D stereoscopic presentation.
Celebrating the tenth issue, Le Sketch decided to cross the paper-digital divide and go Augmented Reality. The sketches in this issue literally pop out and float in space.
You can see unpublished sketches by Jorge Alderete, Matt Madden, Nick Bertozzi, Peter Kuper, Marcellus Hall, Steven Weissman, Craig Atkinson & Matthew Thurber.
Soon after going on line, a limited print run of folded cards will be available for collectors at selected comic bookstores. Free, as usual!

Blatt Spezial is made by Giovanna Sarti.
Digital Circlism is invented by Ben Heine, Belgian cartoonist, teacher and much more. In 'Leopard' Ben painted each circle on a black surface and he didn't really pay attention to symmetry or details. That makes the outcome one of my favourite Ben's circlist work. Below the making of Leopard.
Each work required a lot of patience and time.
This circlist portrait of Johnny Depp as seen in Tim Burton's movie "Alice in Wonderland" took several days of work. Each colored circle is individually painted on a black surface.
The details of Mad Hatter\Johnny Depp give an idea of the work required.
Beh Heine is every where on the web:
In this issue, cartoonist and illustrator Matthew Thurber presents an array of 14 sketches featuring electric demigods, esoteric scribbles, smiling cats and dogs and allegorical creatures that would happily eat you up in a blink. All printed in red carnelian and a spanky purple!
About Matthew: he publishes the comic book series 1-800-MICE. His work has appeared in Kramers Ergot, The Ganzfeld, and many other anthologies - and he also contributes with comics to Vice Magazine. He performs occasionally as Ambergris
