This is the fantastic work of Berlin-based artist Alexander Korzer-Robinson. The work is made by cutting through books to create assemblies of images in relief. Very skilled stuff...

Well organized and stocked with great images.

A set of daguerreotypes that create a panoramic view of the Cincinnati waterfront in 1848.  Great, clear and subtle images.

Shaun began drawing and painting images for science fiction and horror stories in small-press magazines as a teenager, and has since become best known for illustrated books that deal with social, political and historical subjects through surreal, dream-like imagery.

Killer JeansTo be honest, Taxi Design Network is quite a place to see something you would never dream of seeing. Take the work you see, Killer Jeans, of this Indian illustrator/designer/artist Sameer Kulavoor for example, strength, composition, skill, and execution are all there in a single piece. In his résumé, he said "without any particular background in graphic design, his liking for art led him to exploring different mediums," and from my point of view, the variety of his works is a solid proof that you would bookmark his website and be a faithful admirer. At 22yrs of age, he has worked internationally in areas like illustration and design for editorial and advertising; motion graphics and animation for web, television and cinema. He has created two Music videos, a few shorts and hundreds of illustrative designs for a vast and varied portfolio of clients, from MNCs to Music Bands. Go take a look, especially when you are desperate for some fresh inspiration. - ian

For all the design fanatics, this definitely is a must-see, and quite a looker as well. From business cards to logos, from css websties to flash sites, some works over there are supposed to haunt you and make you jealous for a while. Feel like showing off, then post your own works and get some votes, maybe one day your fabulous design will show up on the first page of the Highest Rated.

A sub-forum of WetCanvas (a really HUGE art community) that I found particularly helpful. I just asked a dumb question like how to sign on your prints and I got 2 replies right away. Nice service! : ]

There are sticky threads like Threads Worth Reading!, or discussions of Post Card printing companies, Do you sell digital prints of your paintings?, Free Gallery / Bio Hosting Offer Open to all artists, Ebay Sales, or poll like

A very, very large selections of good quality Hokusai images.

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.
