DRAW SOMETHING PORN
About a month ago, I got really into playing Draw Something. If you’re unfamiliar with what that is, it’s a Pictionary-type game for the iPhone where you and your friends take turns drawing pictures and guessing what they are. I was really into it at first, but like all iPhone games, it got old fast. I gained a new enthusiasm for the game when I stopped trying to draw the suggested topics and started drawing naked ladies. Sometimes I’ll try to incorporate the word, sometimes I just write it in. I’ve drawn hundreds now. Here’s a handful for you to enjoy.

BLOWING COVERS WITH FRANÇOISE MOULY
It isn’t every day you get to interview Robert Crumb–but back in October, I spoke with the legendary comic artist for VICE about his gay marriage New Yorker cover, which was pulled before print. Crumb said New Yorker art editor Françoise Mouly and top editor David Remnick didn’t give him a clear reason as to why.
Mouly took some time out of her day at the New Yorker office to talk about R. Crumb, why his gay marriage cover was outdated, and why working with artists is like being a kindergarten teacher.

QUANGO - GETTING TO THE HEART OF MURDOCH’S GRUDGE
Ever since he turned up at Oxford aged 19 and discovered that his Colonial accent and manners made him not the right sort of chap for his Etonian college-mates, Rupe has nursed his big chip against those whom he sees as the establishment.

THE BLOB BLOG - THE BUTT OF ALL YOUR CRUEL JOKES
I received a few emails with Blob suggestions. But to be honest, I had already decided which article I was going to BLOB-UP. The Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari photography was amazing, and I needed to blob it.

CONFESSIONS OF BANANAPHOBICS
Surely being terrified of bananas – nature’s sweet cure for depression, PMS, hangovers, mosquito bites and ulcers, carefully wrapped in the warm, cheery colour of the sun – would be madness, right?

THE BLOB BLOG
Hi, I am Sam Taylor, I’m 23 and I live in London. I like skateboarding, Die Hard and Holsten Pils, and my hard-hitting new column will be about all three of these things (though not exclusively).
Every week, I am going to take an article from the magazine that lacked illustration and illustrate it. Maybe it didn’t need an illustration at the time, maybe photos were more suitable, but the Blob Blog doesn’t care about what’s suitable, what makes sense or what’s relevant.

THE EYEMAZING WORLD OF CHARLIE ROBERTS
Most of American artist Charlie Roberts’ work looks like the mindstream of a comics-obsessed tween with a Ritalin prescription: look at that gnome humping that tree trunk; look at that axe; I’m eating crisps; I’m surfing; me in sneakers; look at that gnome screaming; it’s a gun; it’s a rifle; it’s a man shot dead; oh look, blood; that guy’s puking; I wanna build a tree house; give me your water guns; I’m frying eggs; I see boobs; I wanna baseball bat; it’d be a cool to be a bat; Batman; Batman cap; ice-cream Sundaes; skate ramp; pot of gold; look at that gnome speaking on a cell phone… The information shitstorm that hits you when you’re eyeing up his art makes you feel like a testosterone-dizzy hoodlum about to plant a flaming bag of crap on a neighbour’s doorstep.
It’s pretty eyemazing.

QUANGO - A HISTORY OF COURTROOM SKETCH ART
Last week, body language experts looked at their charts, did some calculations and decided that perhaps Chris Huhne was slightly uncomfortable in the presence of the wife he’d ditched for a younger model on the telephone, having previously asked her to take speeding points for him.
Since Chris and his estranged missus touched down in a court of law, the image of them together in the dock has become an instant icon of the courtroom art genre. Yet Huhne is certainly not the first politician to have his visible discomfort broadcast to the world via a short, sharp sketch. It is often said that behind every successful political trial, there is a successful courtroom artist, working away, often for minutes at a time, to shape the way we see our leaders receive short custodial sentences.
VICE is privileged to be able to bring together this retrospective of some of the most moving examples of the past 20 years, complete with commentary from our resident courtroom art critic, Mr Ruskin Sewell.

TALKIN’ ‘BOUT THE BOARDS
Dear VICE Lovers, It’s me, your old pal/total stranger, Nicholas Gazin. Outside of being VICE’s nerd expert I’m actually a big deal artist. Each week I scavenge the comments left on this very site and and do three doodles of the people who leave them. This is your chance to be famous for being an annoying shithead.
