A different inspiration : Masters of digital painting

While I always look at (web) design and illustration for inspiration I've also often been inspired by totally different things.

Five illustrators who deserve more love

One thing I've learned during my time as a blogger is that readers of (web)design and illustration blogs love showcases and collections.
