Post Your Inspirational Photos and Images!

[Venetia]

Are you a graphic artist or designer, or painter, or pixeller, or photographer, looking for some inspiration from other creative people?

Post your links to the image sites or galleries you frequent so we can compile some neat places to go to when you're suffering the dreaded :dead: ARTISTIC BLOCK :dead: .

Please give us a description of the link.
If you want to link to a very large community gallery full of private artists (i.e. DeviantArt), please provide a link to specific artist's page instead of the root url.
And please, keep the manga/anime stuff to a minimum, unless it's particularly amazing.
Please link to galleries, not forums or single images. Private Photobucket and Imageshack galleries are allowed.
If the gallery contains nudity, please label [NSFW].

I like to watch graphics design and photos online. here it is very good idea to posting photos for inspiration. i am so exciting by watching the scanning photos with funny comments and videos. moreover it is looks like very good the colorful photo in 3D painting mode and brilliant texture animation.
