Robert Crumb: Critical, Satirical, Subversive…
Written by: leocorrea | February 19, 2010
Robert Dennis Crumb (born August 30, 1943) — known as R. Crumb — is an American artist and illustrator recognized for the distinctive style of his drawings and his critical, satirical, subversive view of the American mainstream. He currently lives in Southern France with his wife Aline Kominsky-Crumb.
Crumb was a founder of the underground comix movement and is regarded as its most prominent figure. Though one of the most celebrated of comic book artists, Crumb’s entire career has unfolded outside the mainstream comic book publishing industry. One of his most recognized works is the “Keep on Truckin’” comic, which became a widely distributed fixture of pop culture in the 1970s. Others are the characters Devil Girl, Fritz the Cat, and Mr. Natural.

The Hard Art of Simon Bisley
Written by: leocorrea | February 17, 2010
I met Bisley’s work for years. If you would have to define their art in two words say, ‘toughness and sensuality. ” With a line so definite that seems cut your face, Bisley has sought and found his own style and has earned a respectable place among the international comic artists.
Simon Bisley (born March 4, 1962) is a respected British artist of the comic strip. It is known for his work in 1990, ABC Warriors, Lobo and Sláine. For its work using acrylics and inks. Contrary to what you may think you do not use airbrush.
His work is sometimes dark and violent, filled with monsters, creatures and muscular men. In his work, women are athletic, with big breasts and are loaded with thrilling sensuality. His style reveals the influence of masters such as Frank Frazetta and Bill Sienkiewicz.

Happy birthday!
Written by: milardovich | August 5, 2009
Just writing this post to announce that it is already a year of coolshowcase is online. Really, the project started about two years ago since Leonardo sent me an email posing the idea to do a job much more complex than those i usually made.
Today, i was looking in my old backups in search of some old files I needed for a project and then, suddenly, I find a cd that said “backup showcase 07-07-2007″. It was one of the first backup that you made the code coolshowcase (then did not even have the name, it was simply “the showcase”). That got me quite nostalgic! Haha.
Well, we would like to wholeheartedly thank all the people registered in our small community (already over 1000 mad-for-arts), and especially those who were involved with the project from the outset, helping of without ask nothing in change.THANK YOU!. It seems inappropriate to start giving names because I will surely forget some and I prefer to avoid any possible friction and 
.
We will not rest on our “laurels” in any way. I am sure that this is just the first year of many that will take this young project.
Both Leonardo and I are continually looking for (despite the setbacks) perfection and maturity to the site, although we recognize that sometimes is still immature in some respects. But we promise to do our best for that to change.
Finally, we want to thank again to users, the few fans we have, and all the people who are already part of coolshowcase and makes every day the project progresses!.
Cheers! Sergio.

::Changes in moderation
Written by: milardovich | August 4, 2009
We have received a lot of emails asking about the way of moderation of the showcase. Well, until last week we just “delete or aprove” the jobs, but now, we implemented a new method of moderation: we can also accept jobs that will not appear in the homepage.(BTW, now you will also receive an email in case of your work will not be aproved).
I think it is a better way to add more works on the showcase and it’s better for new artists that want to have an “online portfolio”.
