A very well-designed Canadian arts community. It got studios, forums, blogs and lots of fantastic artwork. You can register as a member then build a portfolio page to publish your works.

By the way, I don't think you actually have to be a Canadian to host your online studio there. Sound nice, huh?! : ]

terminus1525 is a collaborative workspace on the web and on the street. It's brought to life by the ingenuity and imagination of young Canadian artists working in a wide range of disciplines. terminus1525.ca's free online studios let artists, writers, musicians, filmmakers (and everything in between) mingle, show their work, and find support, feedback, and inspiration from and ever-growing audience.

it's quite a big digital art community, full of artwork that certainly make you see God more than once or twice. The fee for annual membership costs $29.95, but if you're really good, I'm sure extra exposure is worth the money. Make sure you do drop by the gallery and the features, btw, with a free membership, you can join the forum and start communicating with all the members.

Dig in the the trend of colors before it's all too late!

       I'm upgrading my PC (by purchaing a NEW one - ouch!!) and my GIMP as well. The new, stable version for Windows is 2.4.2, with a prettier GUI. If English isn't your mother language and you prefer reading English like me, they have a solution for you on GIMP Talk. Go to C:\\Program Files\\GIMP-2.0\\lib\\locale and remove all the folders that do not start with en_ and then your GIMP will be ready to take off!

This guy can knock my socks off over and over again. Highly recommended!!!

I agree. I just "discovered" him two days ago. Amazing sketchbook work.

clear and general directory for any sort of designing like web, digital, craft, illustration, architecture, inteiror, magazine, etc.

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.
