The reels section is running nicely, but often I (and you too I'll bet) come across non-motion gfx type stuff (sites/movies/etc.) that kick my ass in gear creatively that might be inspirational to the rest of you as well.
This thread is here to help. Feel free to post stuff that has inspired you.
For motion graphics stuff, please post over here.
The Inspiration Thread

Well, linkdup satisfies my need for non-motion inspirational links. When you've worked your way through the portfolios check out "the links pool" (back and unfiltered). There's just too much to see. It's my favorite site of that kind. But still i never mind if someone here thinks he has a non-mograph site that we should have a look at. Stuff on paper, canvas, walls, digital paintings and all that can surely be inspiring and lead to new styles in motion graphics i think.

http://www001.upp.so...p/ippei_gyoubu/ (japanese illustrator who uses adobe illustrator a lot)
and
www.xiiin.com (bandwidth killer, stunning 3d graphics for the interface)
just two of the more inspiring sites that i stumbled across lately.
i think some of the 80s pinball art is very inspiring. And Blaxploitation posters. Both deserve a revival (there already has been a little blaxploitation revival, bot i'm still hungry for it).

http://www.frosch-studio.com
and good old http://www.dform1shiftfunc.net
PS: Congrats Igor on your 100th post, you're no longer a Regular

cool links, i knew them already but frosh-studio was new to me. Where can you get teleport pro? Is it free? One good free programme i use is webspider, free from xaldon at www.xaldon.de. Good thing about webspider is that it also browses swf-files for links, only understands basic actionscript though and won't follow links that were first stored in a variable and then passed to a function. Also checks Javascript for links.
Thanks for the congratulations but i'm back to 98 for some reason.

The art on that site reminded me of Rian Hughes' work.
http://www.devicefonts.co.uk
Click on 'skip intro' then 'illustrations'. Too bad his site kinda sucks, I own his book and it's great.

kobbytron reminded you of rian hughes? I didn't see that many similarities between the two except that both use vector graphics. but rians work is nice too of course. reminded me of [url=http://www.salboma.com/]sato labo. rian hughes reminded me of sato labo??? yes, i know, different styles too, but also this 60's/70's lounge style in a new modern design. Unfortunately the sato labo site doesn't work properly on my browser (netscape 6).

something completely different: http://www.trajectons.com/seize/
a guy working on a series of very sinister comics that he is making with maya. But it looks very painterly, not really like it was done with 3D. It all seems to be work in progress more or less, the creator (Jim Seize) is still looking for a publisher. The first comic isn't so good, but i like the one titled "preconcept". They all lack a good story, but are nice to look at. I'm usually not a big fan of dark, sinister art but this one still managed to attract my attention.

I love it. I'm a big fan of comics and 'dark art' tho. Reminded me of both Ashley Wood's art and Dave McKean's.

Do you know this guy yet? http://sinfest.net/ (by Tatsuya Ishida)
i only just discovered him today. he's been printed but offers his comic strips free online and there are more than 1350 (in words onethousandthreehundreadandfifty, can you believe it? Tatsuya is a comicmaking machine) already, a new one coming every day.
Not really inspiring stuff from the artistic side (not badly drawn at all, but typically comic-strippy, nothing we havn't seen yet), but i thought while we're talking of free online comics i might add it. Some of the stories are fun. A lot about religion, women and life in general, features some cute pets, has a bit of everything.

i suspected sinfest to be known, it just has to be.
i didn't know Demian5 yet. it's nice. Please don't hold back with sites you thought we all knew already. With the overwhelming amount of stuff on the net we are all missing a lot of have-to-know-sites.
i guess most of you will know http://www.happytreefriends.com/. For those that don't: it's a series of flash movies, childrens style-cartoons, but teenage-humor.
http://www.preschoolprotocops.com/ well made flash cartoon, sort of Dexters lab-style
http://colometersdavis.com/ very nicely drawn comic, not new but one you shouldn't miss.
dog in a box with 2 wheels. See it at www.atomiccartoons.com. Click on samples and then on reel, click the right arrow, there it is. Or just click http://www.atomiccar...sh_dogpage.html
