The following list is a compilation of the “goodies” I use when I am distracted or need some extra inspiration.
Think of it as artist’s box of crayons.
Everything from music websites I love, design websites that strike my appeal, and books I can’t wait to get my hands on.
If it doesn’t inspire me, it’s not here.
Enjoy!
