inspiration needed

Yesterday I was online for many hours exploring illustrators’ websites. Here are a few that blew my socks off and so I’d like to share.

Peter de Séve (Amazing!)

Keith Baker (Requires Flash and you should have that by now anyway.)

Jody Hewgill (Very harmonious.)

I was searching for websites that had alot if impact and professionalism to apsire to. I’m working on redesigning my site and it’s a big scary task, but it has to be done. The hardest part is categorizing everything so that it makes sense. Illustration (three different styles), design, photography, sketches, bio, penguins, journal… how do you show consistency when you’ve done so many different kinds of things?

If anyone has some suggestions for artists’ or illustrators’ websites that they love–not just for the art, but also for the design of the site and its functionality–then please share them. Also, when the time comes for relaunch I’ll be sending out email alerts. If you want to join my mailing list please send an email with “subscribe me!” in the subject line to birdmail at penguinart dot com.
