Who says there’s a dearth of things for guys to collect over at shopping sites like Etsy? Ryan MacDonald’s prints and cards all feature oddball characters and monsters — my pick would be the one where the protagonist seems to have stuck a box over his head and stormed out of an office and is off to do… odd things.

Of course there’s lots of other characters that Ryan draws — many of which would actually be great to read up in a comic. And no wonder too: he credits his inspiration source as comics, street art, and the sublime colors in nature!

Anyone hungry yet?

I’m looking at these deliciously sweet illustrations by Amaranta Martinez of Piktorama, an illustrator and designer who hails from Spain, and trying very hard not to munch on something! Grab yourself a limited edition Gocco print of these sinful goodies at her Etsy shop and see more of her work at her website.

Thoroughly enjoying the patterns and repetitive motifs done by Judy Kaufmann. She’s an illustrator and designer from Barcelona who has quite a range of styles, but of course my eye are drawn to pieces like the ones above – I can look at them for hours in trying to figure out their story (the first one is dedicated to her identical twin sister!)

Also, she has a beautiful bio:

I never was interested in economics or law, not even in art, but somewhere amongst my hundreds of notebooks, I began to draw stories of my life, that have transformed me into the girl that carries a ball-point pen in her knapsack.

Take a peek into her Etsy shop and also her portfolio for more explorations in repetition.
