Links I love: deviantART
Have you found deviantART yet? This place is fantastic. Not only do I go here regularly to vent my own art but I find inspiration all the time.
deviantART is an online gallery for visual art. Not just the standard photography, but painting and computer art too. And it isn’t only amateur art. You’ll find professional artists and commercial product photo shoot results up there also.
There’s tradition art, digital art, photography, literature, artisan crafts, customization, flash, film, designs and interfaces, manga/anime, cartoons and comics, fan art, art making resources, and more community projects than you can shake a stick at.
deviantART has it all.
Animations, drawings, street art, body art, paintings, mixed media, typography, sculpture, printing, and collage. There’s photomanipulations, 3-D art, pixel, vector and fractal art. There is abstract, surreal, architecture, still life, macro, photojournalism, conceptual, people, plants, animal and nature photos. There is poetry and prose. You’ll find culinary arts, sculpture and glass, textiles, architectural design, knottings, weavings, dolls, jewelry, leatherwork, metal work, papercraft, and woodwork. Animations, movies, games, interfaces, utilities, comedies, documentaries, dramas, fantasies, horrors, science fictions, demo reels, tattoo designs, theatre design, fashion, cd cover design, tutorials, fonts, stock images, clip art, film, fractal and vector resources.
This site is just freaking huge. It is a treasury. I’ve been cruising around for ages and haven’t even had a chance to explore it fully yet. There are forums to talk art. There are so many tutorials available for how to make things that you could create for months and still not make everything. You can keep current on all the art news that you see fit.
This place is so interesting. You’ll find fascinating stuff there, and what’s more, it’s stuff that you can use. There are creative commons licenses in place and permissions granted for so many of the items there.
With Christmas coming up, you might need inspiration, or you might need materials. deviantART could very well be a resource for you to explore. If nothing else, it’s a great place to wander around and find inspiration.
