Much-needed eyecandy: Alt Dolls, Japanese Schoolgirls, and vintage posters
Some links and artists I've had lying around for months and months and it's about time I posted them up!

Comics: "Missionary" and "Unknown Soldier"
Last summer a friend told me about someone who had drawn their PhD out in comic form. I discovered Judy Han, who drew the whole thing out in 24 hours as part of 24 Hour Comics Day.
