Art Sites

  • CGPaintings -- An excellent forum run by Mull for people who like to speed paint.
  • Deviant Art -- Don't be misled by the name. I mean yes, we're all deviants there but it's also a seriously good 2.0 site frequented by some seriously good sites - myself included.

Artists

  • Ben Boling -- The blade runner of Atlanta walks the razor edge between funny and disturbing. More funny than disturbing but we can't all be perfect now can we?
  • Devil Pig Studios -- Don't Hate The Potentate! This site is as hillarious as it is masterful, I could hang out there all day.
  • Don Seegmiller -- An excellent oil painter and digital artist. Author of one of my favorite illustration books Digital Character Design and Painting - definitely check it out.
  • Go! Baby! Go! -- Somebody check Ed Roth's crypt! Something tells me his zombie is still making some of the wildest hot rod surf pics and posting them on the web as this flipped out kid.
  • Grimbro! -- The guy with site where every day is Halloween.
  • J. Scott Campbell -- Bruce's little brother? I can't remember, but Danger Girl I will never forget. Very very cool.
  • Loish -- A dutch girl destined to go far.
  • Mongo -- Some people juggle balls, knives, small animals and bowling balls. Darrenn juggles an art school education, an infatuation with dwarves and DDR, life in Washington DC, and probably 5,000 separate conversations simultaneously on DA - truly a site to see.
  • MULL! -- King Mull - fastest brush in the west. Of western Europe that is. Okay, he lives on an island out in the Atlantic so there probably is no one living west of him before hitting the states - but the guy is still amazingly good and fast with a paint brush. Hiyahh!
  • Nathan Rosario -- Fantasy artist extraordinare.
    We're not worthy! Not worthy!
  • Patrick Jones -- Also known as the hungry sparrow on DA, this man does some amazing work with a real paint brush - not the fake plastic thing that I use!
  • Paul Loudon -- The triple threat of Manchester, he cartoons, he paints, he well, um. Ok, Paul can't exactly act but you have to give him credit for trying. His sick animal picks are some of the funniest things on the web.
  • Phil Noto -- Yet another person to add to my list of people to envy endlessly.
  • Ralph Bakshi -- Had more say in the feel of the late 70's/ early 80's than any animator should.
  • Rodney Matthews -- It's pretty scary when you're best described as Roger Dean on acid (think of Matthews as the Chong to Dean's Cheech). Even scarier, and quite inspiring, is that both confess to not using drugs to get their ideas. Although I tend to get suspicious when people have to swear they are not on drugs. Still, excellent, excellent art.
  • Roger Dean -- The Yes man, or better known as the man who designed all the cool other worldly album covers for Yes and Asia. At times I liked them better than the bands. Definitely check out his Architecture. It's more California than California has been in years!
  • Thundercake -- An amazing digital painter and RPG designer to boot!
  • Wulfgarf -- With a name like that how could he not be from Finland?

Blinded by Science

  • Edmund Scientific -- Nerd Heaven! Where else can you buy a solar powered remote control hovercraft which you assemble yourself? So Cool!
  • Gassy the Goblin -- Okay, Josh is actually an artist, but talk to him about how he does what he does with 3D rendering and you'll quickly figure out why he is blinded by science.
  • George Gobel is God -- You've probably already seen it. It's become something of an internet classic, but I love it to death. George Gobel using liquid oxygen to light a charcoal grill. It doesn't get any hotter than this!
  • Obscure Patents -- Quick proof that genius and intelligence do not always run hand-in-hand.
  • Spud Tech -- Because what the world needs now - is a spud gun the size of a howitzer.

Cartoonists

  • David Hartman - The Side Show Monkey -- Wow. I'm not a big fan of horror art, but this guy is like the Led Zepplin of horror cartoons. His movies aren't half bad either.
  • Junior Bruce! -- Your Buddy Buddy has CHUD in a can and he's looking to heat it up for lunch. Definitely stop by and give his excellent toons a gander.
  • SpaceCowboy76 -- It's me on Deviant Art. Am I a cartoonist or an artist or just a wise ass with a suped up computer. Check out my work and be the judge.
  • Zombie Bunny Zero -- Detroit's answer to punky brewster is talented and funny to boot. Definitely check her out.

Design

  • Verner Panton in the Design Museum -- Vernon Panton is one of my favorite all-time designers. A mix of Frank Lloyd Wright, Andy Warhol, and Santa Claus
  • Vernon Panton by Hive Modern -- Here is where you can buy VP Designs, providing you have ridiculous amounts of money to burn.
  • Vernon Panton Home Page? -- Nicely done, but for some reason this doesn't feel right. Doesn't .ch stand for Checkoslovakia? Still, be sure to check out Phantasy Landscape

Environment

Fun Stuff

  • Bug Eyed Monster -- Because your Micronauts may have self destructed after five minutes of play, but they've never really gone away.
  • Let's Go Bowling! -- Kitsch for the future!
  • Peeps Research -- Because we can never know enough about those sugar covered sponge birds who only migrate in around easter.
  • Pinball Rebel -- More classic retro kitsch!
  • Retro Crush -- Because everything which was never cool to begin with is now not cool again
  • The '80s Arcade Game Collection -- It's almost a law of nature, creativity springs from restriction. The games of today look smashing but its always the same old thing over and over (driving, shooting, fighting, and sports). In the '80s they had almost nothing to work with, but wow.... Get the frog across the road, who could have ever guessed so many hours could be wasted this way!

Gaming

Heroes

  • Bruce Campbell -- The man with the chin is - in a word - Groovy. Why he is on the B-list while Keanu Reeves is on the A-list is something I may never understand.
  • Buckminister Fuller -- The good and the odd. Read bucky biography before conquering his books, if you can get past his slightly eccentric way of writing you'll find them to be very enlightening.
  • Justin O. Schmidt -- This man definitely needs a new hobby, like snorting altoids. I mean, how bored do you have to be?
  • The Foglios -- Phil and Kaja - creating excellent art and funny stuff too!

Music

  • Monogoloid -- As sung by the Vienna Boys Choir!? What's wierd is that they're not kidding.
  • The Aquabats! -- Imagine the big blue Tick, multiplied by 10, and totally rocking out with nerdy abandon.
    Yes, it's just that good!

Thinkers

  • Cue Ball -- Okay, maybe he doesn't seem to be a big thinker, but you have zen you don't need many words.
  • SilverVulpine -- Aka Owen. A fellow Floridian and ex-boy scout. One of the few people on DA who doesn't mind when I write page long replies to his journal entries. Pretty good photographer too.
