A FEW GOOD LINKS
These links are
a very small selection of sites that I like to check up every now and then and
are guaranteed to keep you busy for a few hours. Most of them feature images
and thus may take a little while to load, but they are all great!!
Now open your eyes, paddle on out there and GET SURFING!

The amount of art on the web seems to be reaching saturation point although
this is really only early days but already you can waste hours looking at crap.
The judicial use of these links will always lead you to something new and interesting
if you look hard enough.

TYPOGRAPHY
I started learning about Typography in the early 80's when it was such
a pain to get right, you had to fill in all these forms and send it off
to some Type-magican and every mistake or typo cost money. These days it
is taken for granted the ease of mixing and matching any of thousands of
fonts, with the ability to keep the whole thing fluid and uncommitted.
