That’s the kind of work that I always pray to get!
Am I the first to comment?

@lumo – I disagree. I think this looks cool. Take a look at Kate’s (Loungecat’s) folio http://www.loungekat.com/ Her work is awesome and she has loads of real world illustration experience to share.
The tutorial is fairly easy for an experienced illustrator, though just right for a beginner to intermediate artist. She also covers loads of new Illustrator CS4 tools and techniques in the tutorial, which everyone can benefit from.

I agree with Sean, it’s cool looking and a great idea.
Please stop calling things ugly and start showing some respect.

It’s far more attractive and complex than some recent postings. Besides, I think the focus is on prepress, which doesn’t get enough exposure on these tutorial sites.
