I’ve been rather immersed lately in HTML, CSS and web design. But I need a break every once in awhile. Here are a few places I visit when I want a little eye candy:
Denis Brown’s website. This guy knows quills and he knows digital. After a week-long workshop two years ago, I brought home a slew of notes and experiments and his DVD, none of which I’ve yet digested.
Thomas Ingmire’s website. You’ve got to have Flash to look at it, but it’s worth looking at. You’d think that the “Collections” and “Gallery” links would be the best — and they are great — but the most interesting work on the site is in “Commissions”: a book of Richard Braudigan’s poetry, in code invented by Thomas Ingmire; poetry by Rimbaud; Canto V from Dante’s Inferno. I’ve taken week-long workshops with him several times over the past 15 years. His craftsmanship is unparalleled.
Martin Jackson’s website. He’s got portfolios of lettering samples and commercial art, which I like, but I especially like the portfolio of fine art. I’ve never taken and class from him, but I know several people who rave over his teaching.
