Heres a list of amazing websites to check out.
Book By Its Cover
-this website is a collection of books, comics, sketchbooks from guest artists, and just lovely things from illustrator Julia Rothman.
20x200
-started by Jen Bekman in order to create a place with affordable art. Prints from featured artists run $20-$2000. I have a few prints around my apartment.
NotCot
-a fun website that shows thumbnails that users upload that showcase the latest in the art, design world.
Design*Sponge "Design By the Book"
-design*sponge is my favorite design/art related blog, and recently started a video series. Design by the Book follows several artists who use different mediums (glass,jewelry/porcelain,illustration,zines) as they use the resources at the New York Public Library. Scroll all the way down to see the videos in sequence. I think using the library as a means to create something is really special (why havent I thought of this before?!) , and there is probably a TON of cool stuff to find at any public library in Portland. Old photographs, maps, fabrics, who knows what. The finished works are really cool.
Enjoy!
