La rinascita della popolarità dell'arte illustrativa può essere attribuita a una serie di fattori. Sebbene l'accettazione delle graphic novel come qualcosa di più di "solo fumetti" , sia stata affermata da un po' di tempo, quando McSweeney's ha pubblicato il suo numero interamente a fumetti nel 2004, la reazione dei media mainstream ha elevato il mezzo, le sue parole e le sue immagini, a qualcosa di oltre il genere. Di conseguenza, tali disegni e illustrazioni hanno trovato la loro strada in campagne di marketing, annunci e gallerie. Mentre il lavoro dei singoli artisti varia notevolmente, gran parte di esso assume una posa irresistibile, sia che gli spettatori stiano fissando teste ingrandite su corpi distorti o un uccello ucciso da un colpo di pistola, il suo assassino e una casetta per gli uccelli che piangono entrambi. Il lavoro è allo stesso tempo inquietante ma stranamente attraente. Noi di MBP abbiamo soprannominato questa qualità EdgyCute
