Some sweet links here despite the name (AnimeKandi.org...) I went through a couple of the illustration links and was pleased. I didn't find any anime. This is worth exploring.

This website has a variety of different artists and musicians. The website creators will make a page for an artist if they like you work. I am happy to say that I was featured on the site as "Freshalex"  This is a good site if you want to get some more exposure, and if you like art in general.

A good place to preserve advertising images from the past.

The challenge: create a high-res, jaw-dropping piece of digital art, based on the theme "Infinite Future Chaos". We're giving away a stunning 30-inch Apple Cinema Display.
It's bloody huge, and has beautiful color reproduction. Photoshop never looked so good. Check out the specs: dimensions:sit back a bit.. it just barely fits on your deskrefresh rate:4000 times per picosecondlovely:yesmax. resolution:64 gazilla-pixelsawesome factor:10 "But.. WTF is Infinite Future Chaos?", we hear you ask. Fair question. To be honest, we don't really know what it means. It's possibly something to do with jetpacks... or perhaps trees taking over the city... or trees wearing jetpacks taking over the city with lasoos. Only time will tell. The winners of the 30" Apple Cinema Display and the RedBubble voucher, plus four runners-up, will have their work published in the November issue of Photoshop Creative.

Honestly, I'm not a guy into overmuch, though I alaways admire the idea and labour of creating art. As for geuclide's works, THANKS GOD he knows the boundary and jumps out of the stereotypes skillfully and stylishly. I can pull out a whole package of adjectives to describe his works, one of them is MARVELOUS. As you can see on the left, his abstract appear like an abstract landscape painting, with soft, appealing color schemes, plenty of space around and a bit of darker doodle that brings extra moves and delightful surprise to the image, which basically makes me wanna pick up the phone immediately and ask him how much he would like to sell it. :O) If you can' agree my viewpoint more, go check out his humblevoice gallery, for he has lots of things to feast your hungry eyes.

I love stumbing upon something beyond my expectation. Today I checked out my account on terminus1525.ca, found a name listed under Recent Visitors, and I can't help but clicked on the link. That's when I was drawn to the abyss of imagination of Jean-Félix. This artist created something that is soft, solid, organic, futurist and dynamic. The way he plays with composition and colors are really incredible for a guy who is only 26. Do pay attention to his details - that's how you feel the power of his ART.

Thinking about starting a webshop so you can sell your lovely pictures or magnifient paintings? I guess we are all in the same boat. My first choice would be Shopify (just look at how many ppl have saved it on del.icio.us!), but for a Trial/Free account, very very sadly, you take up to 5 oders, w/o SSL security or domain name, and that pushes me into looking for a perfect plan B. I found VirtueMart, haven't tried it but it looks very promising. Just look at Demos for some real actions; worried 'bout support already, I'm sure that a bunch of know-it-alls on Fourm would love to give you a hand.

The image on the left is entitled Nighthawks, which gave me a very strong impression the first time I saw it on a wordpress blog last week and fortunately I saw it again yesterday in a bookstore. Do you see how sharp the light and the building are? and are you just like me, feeling your heart beat faster and faster by the empty but disturbing atmosphere in the painting. If your anwers can't be more positive, it's about time for you to meet another master like Edward Hopper who can teach you some lessons you can't learn from anyone else.

"Computers aren't everything" I think that's an incredibly important statement. Drawing with a nice pen or pencil on good paper can get you thinking in a very different way than arranging pixels on a screen. When I'm stuck, or even when I'm not stuck for ideas I find the nearest library and look for the oldest, largest most decrepit books and pull them off the shelf to look at them. There are many gems languishing on forgotten shelves. The other day I found a very large book from the 1920s chock full of beautifully colored prints of Masonic symbols and imagery. I took photos, if anyone's interested...

ProFolio is a professional ready to go portfolio that is perfectly suitable for both a personal portfolio or a more professionally oriented portfolio. Essentially anyone that wants an easy yet customizable way to display their graphical presentations such as photographs, digital art, web designs, etc would most likely be content with this software. Currently ProFolio is free, but the developers behind the software have been saying for as long as I've been aware of ProFolio that at some point in the somewhat near future they will be charging for further downloads. So, I wouldn't drag my feet too long before I gave this one a try.

This article features some of the more useful and free desktop graphics editors I've come across whether you're creating/editing an icon, a vector file or otherwise. I hope that everyone finds this article useful, and I also hope that it's read before you shell out $300 for a commercial graphic editor elsewhere. What you will not find in this article are the more well known image editing applications such as The Gimp

Looks like it's about time for me to learn some new tricks! ;)

This article features 42 of the most fantastic examples of photography / digital art with a focus on the human eyes that I have ever seen. I hope you all enjoy the gallery as it took some time to put together, and if you enjoy the artist's work, let them know.

I wish I was this cool

I see my paintings as living creatures with shapes, problems and solutions that I address within a candid dialogue, stemming from pure spontaneity, entering a space of concentration, rhythm, physical gesturing, and an understanding of where a work wants to go.

As a photographer I have specialized on camera obscura and pinhole techniques during last 20 years. In 1986 I graduated from the University of Art and Design Helsinki, department of photography (BA) and from the University of Helsinki, department of Ecological Zoology (MS).
