Design Resources
I wanted to share some of my favourite design resources on the Internet.
First, the one that I honestly use the most, is Google. Google Image Search to be specific, or GIS as some people like to shorten it. If you need a reference image for a piece of design, GIS really gives you some quick results. I've used it many times for my professional content, and also for material to create the images I post in my blog.
Second, deviantART. There are so many talented people out there to get inspiration from. If I need a new wallpaper, that is one of the better places to look for unique and eye-pleasing designs.
Third, another image reference resource, this one specific to photographs, and they are all royalty free to use: stock.xchng - free stock photography.Fourth, a bulletin board known as the Messy CHILLROOM, home of amazing artists like the legendary "HOON" and others of much reknown on deviantART. Go to "The Hallway" and check out some of the very interesting work that people post, and the insightful constructive critique that follows. Intelligent discussion of art, it's great.
Just today I found this interesting online design magazine. I know there are tons out there, but this one has a really solid offering of clear and well written articles about design. You have to be a subscriber to read their back-issues I think, but they have 3 that are "open" to the public in PDF format and I liked them, so I wanted to share: Before & After magazine.If you have some good resources to share, maybe even your own art gallery, let me know.
I will give a nod to Cibbuano here, his photos of asses taken through the hole in the crotch of his pants is most definitely Canadian "ART".

Thanks for the props, boy.
I've also browsed that Before and After magazine site. The articles are excellent... I'd almost consider subscibing to the magazine.
btw, why don't you post a couple of pics of inside your apartment?
hell, why don't you post some pics of the combination to your jewel safe?
Oh yeah, I use this site: Designer Today.
It's not as slick as Before and After, but it's a decent aggregate of illustrator and photoshop tutorials.
This site's not too bad either: Eyes on Design
Good stuff. Yeah, the Hoon guy got some damn good stuff. It'd be nice if I had an idea how to draw.
GIS is sweet, I use that quite a bit. Otherwise, I haven't found many sites that useful, other than some sites on web usability, and scripting tutorials. Those sites you posted look cool, though.
I also use GIS alot for the blogging. Very handy.
I'm really liking the Deviant Art site as well.
About pics of the INSIDE.. I thought I sent those out once upon a time, but then again the place was totally empty when I took the photos so it wouldn't be very impressive. I'll consider another sending out if I finish organizing my stuff.
