Superoboturbo is Jordy van den Nieuwendijk. Almost more than the work itself, I want to call attention to the Dutch illustrator’s website. I have a tendency to moan about Flash websites for their shortcomings in accessibility, bookmarking, and searching, but Jordy’s horizontal-scrolling portfolio uses Flash rather smartly; his portfolio is a highly interactive experience that showcases not just his work, but his personality.

His web site and illustrations are rad.
Jordy is going to New York! You can see him live on stage during the Cut&Paste firstever Global Championship on the 16th of october 2009! See for more information cutandpaste.com
I hate to bring some negativity to the conversation – and I *do* like his artwork and his sense of fun – but horizontally scrolling websites are vile to use.
For reasons beyond my ken, the most talented artists are often the most prone to vile website design – and the horizontal scroller is one of the chief offenders.
Please, all you wonderful talented illustrators and designers out there – just say no to horizontally scrolling galleries. And while you’re at it, you might want to say no to annoying bloody javascript based popup galleries where you can’t open a picture in another tab. Please.
Ok – that’s enough grumping for one night. Carry on with the wonderfulness.
lovely illustrations
