I'm all about sharing what I find on my journey to become a better artist, and if I can help anyone along the way, I'd be thrilled to do so. Below is a collection of the best I've found over the last couple of years - the small gems on the internet that is worth your time and will hopefully make you discover new fantastic things!

I sincerely hope you enjoy!
