Creating my own website has really made me appreciate the artistic quality in others’. Since creating my own, I’ve found some ingenious examples of what flash, html and a bit of creativity can do for you.
You know when you see a website and want to marry it? No? Never get this? Okay, well let’s put it this way. I’d never be divorcing this little beauty. Okay, so it’s a bit creepy. The background music does make me want to reach for the pillow and check Silent Hill hasn’t crept into the neighbourhood. But underneath it all is a raw quality that I love.
From what I understand, (and that’s saying something with the higgilty piggiltyness of the site,) it’s actually a musician’s website. But hey, I’m just here to appreciate the beauty.
Okay, so I may be a bit biased here, but I am really enjoying this band at the moment and it thrilled me that they had a beautiful website. For the last couple of days it had flatlined (quite literally! The website had a heart monitor on it and nothing else,) but it’s resurrected again. It provides a lovely look at flash and html working hand in hand with each other.
I’m not sure I actually like this site. I’m only sure that it’s a great use of layout and html coding. I like sites that have intricacy and “easter eggs” as it were. I think this site could be made more than what it is, but is still a beautiful representation of what can be done with a bit of creative thinking.
I love this site! It’s a bit of fun and thats what makes it so charming. Don’t forget to look beyond the immensely pleasurable dandelions 
There’s some great work beyond the blowing.

More goodies, this time of the illustrative variety. Look at the pretty colours! And you may recognise some of these as being the main features in computer arts.

I’m studying line drawings at the moment for a insight into how people go about doing them and this website is a brilliant example of comedic illustration with a graphical feel. Yey!
Theron’s Illustration

I was look through the latest issue of Digital Arts and I found some beautiful work by Sarel Theron.
Yes, I choose the piratey picture. I know. But if you visit the site have a look at some of the close-ups of his work. They’re amazing. The detail and control he offers over his work is outstanding. Lovely stuff.
