DreamKeepers is a creator owned independent comic, and let me tell you, these two have serious talent. The site is well put together and has an amazing amount of content, including a weekly prelude comic and an opportunity to commission your very own DreamKeeper. Check it out, and keep supporting Independent Art!

Paint.net is a phenomenal image editing program that's very easy to use. It's free, and good for all your basic photo editing needs. It's also the program i use most often to touch up my own designs.

GIMP is a GNU image manipulation program, and I don't know what that means. What I do know is that it offers professional quality resources for digital image editing, and it's free. It's not as easy to use for the novice as Paint.net is, but for someone that takes the time to learn the ins and outs, you can do amazing things with it. I use it as my go-to source for effects I can't achieve with Paint.net.

You'll find just about any kind of art supplies you can think of at Dick Blick's. It beats havin' to run around to eight different art supply places just to find the brand of technical pens you prefer.

These guys sell the nicest, high quality, top of the line sketchbooks and journals. I don't often endorse non-American businesses (except Sony, but that's not even fair. I love my Playstation,) but these guys make a damned fine doodle pad. If you want something that says, "Yeah, I'm related to Da Vinci," check out Moleskine.

I don't really have the space to give a decent description of Stumble Upon, but if you ever find yourself sitting at your machine staring at a boring Facebook with nothing else to do, you need to check this out. It made me love the internet again.

Now, this is a site I've had the pleasure of utilizing on more than one occasion. They can make you just about anything you'd hang on a wall from a digital image, you can customize the size anyway you want, and best of all, there's no minimum order. If you want 500 flyers, they'll get them to you. What's that? You only want one 2' x 3' poster? No problem, they can do that. LargeFormatPosters.com. Check it out.

Stellarium is really just bitchin' cool all around. It's an accurate, free, opensource planetarium program for your computer. It even supports a 360 degree fisheye projector, for those of you with an IMax theater in your basement. This is how much of a nerd I am.
