Letterheadfonts.com sells fonts, but what is really remarkable about the site is the amazing typographic designs in the portfolio section. Typographic skill is what separates real graphic designers and art directors from the pikers and this guy has skill in spades. The gallery section has a couple hundred samples of logos, signs, covers, and packages that scream talent. It is a really impressive collection of work.

The Times had great article on classic advertising (pure snake oil sales) for tobacco. Lot’s of lessons for aspiring art directors, copy writers and ethicists. Check it out here.

Here is another oil painter that I admire tremendously. He has the traditional, technical skills of a realist combined with a modern, artistic vision. He combines these to create some incredibly striking art. Check it out here.

This is a great place for the image obsessed to look at historical images.

It is a huge collection and a lot of it it available in high res. Take a few minutes and check it out here.

This guy is a painter’s painter. Check out his amazing work here and best of all watch time lapse videos of his painting process. For anyone who paints or is interested in the process of making an oil painting this is just great. He also does a really cool project called a painting-a-day.
