Here is a collection of some of the stuff presently residing in my Favorites folder. Some might be interesting, some not so much.

Comics

I don’t actually read many webcomics, but here are some that I either check regularly or used to check(until they quit).

• Achewood – Deceptively simplistic artwork fronts some of the best raw character development I’ve seen in comics.
• Scary Go Round – Long-running daily comic series with humor and wit.
• Order of the Stick – Stick-based comics both celebrating and jeering tabletop gaming.
• The Perry Bible Fellowship – The creator, unfortunately, quit. So, like the entry below(A Lesson is Learn…), it is simply a good archive.
• A Lesson is Learned but the Damage is Irreversible – The writer and artist stopped producing comics, but the archives are worth going through once or twice.

• Drawn! – A blog based on posting things related to illustration and animation. Good things show up frequently. Helpful for inspiration or sullen gawking.
• Character Design – Another good resource. I have trouble finding the archives, unfortunately.

• Lauren Nassef: Drawing-a-Day – A daily drawing project by Lauren Nassef. New drawing five days a week.
• Ghostco – The incredible illustration work of Matthew Woodsen. Some have been used for Threadless shirts!
• Catia Chen – Watercolory stuff.
• I’m Scared – Heavily abstracted, surreal paintings.
• Mostly Wanted – Slick commercial illustrations.
• Woodyart – Stylized illustration.
• Gezfry – Terrific line work, as well as blending of drawing and photography.
• Kenichi Hoshine – Paintings probably best described as minimalist and striking.
• Potatohavetoes – Fun and random little pieces that cover a lot of ground.
• David Ho – Paintings done in a darker style(aesthetically and thematically).
• blackmoontides – Personal website of rem, a freelance illustrator with a manga-inspired style. She doesn’t get to update much due to work…
• Juergen Specht – Japan-based photographer with all kinds of sets. The one on Japanese homeless is especially interesting, and I like all of the sets of abandoned ruins. Gunkanjima is probably my favorite.
• Chris Jordan Photography – Absolutely staggering large-scale images of the results of a consumerism-based society. I’d really like to see some of his prints up close some day.
• Red Nose Studio – Chris Sickels makes little figures and photographs them in little constructed sets. Also some stop-motion animation.
• Pond of Weary Faces – Dark, sketchy style. Hasn’t been updated in a while.

• KYMG – Range of excellent stuff, even including some crazy lineart-based animation of chicken-headed villains.
• PAINT – Variety of works, mostly older.
• Bandalmass – Some commercial work, interesting character design.
• Secret of Plant Worms House – As curious a collection of work as the name implies. Also has a unique approach to website layout.
• Lotus Eater – Most work presently looks to be based in a oekaki-type program. Strong elements of color, composition, and line use.
• tkotrxtiny – Watercolor-based work that reminds me of Miyazaki.
• BM WORKS – Uses a wiki-based format for the gallery. Plethora of extremely detailed pixel-level work.
