• Photorevolt Magazine 7/30/06 
  Description: an Italian photographic magazine
  Comments: The first 2 issues each had no less than a dozen participants, each contributing a series of 4-10 photos – things like art on walls and phenomenal scenes for starters. From Italy, an excellent photography magazine!  [Brain Twisting]
   
• DJ.Dry 7/29/06 
  Description: some goblets of Dry music (Flash)
  Comments: From one Mr. Dry in Hungary, a DJ hoping to provide "something emotionally permanent" – a compilation of dozens of tunes – just turn up the speakers, minimize the window, and carry on...;~))

  Description: photography gallery
  Comments: Whether it's eerie black & white or extreme colour you like, you're bound to agree it's a good thing Tilda came back to photography...;~))  [Ample Sanity]
   
• Antrepo 7/27/06 
  Description: a collection of recent projects by Can Pekdemir
  Comments: From Istanbul, graphic design and photography by Can Pekdemir – Plastic City – killer illustration. And I loved the apartment and factory series of photos!  [Bak]
   
• blipfoto 7/26/06 
  Description: the daily photo journal for everyone
  Comments: Currently, only a "small, specially selected group of contributors" have photo journals on the public beta of "the zero-fuss website that lets you publish a daily photo journal." It'll be interesting to see what it grows into. In the meantime, there's some great photos among its various individual journals, reachable via thumbnails on the main page.  
   
• [F]laboratorium.org 7/25/06 
  Description: experimental bytes plus photos (Flash)
  Comments: "You think of being a dancecommander too? Just let us know!! We only need a short videoclip of your mad, unbelievable dancing skills and some information about yourself..." Evidentally, when !BrainbuG! put the message out, several recruits were ready to "join the army" as dancecommanders and the result is a bit of interactive fun. Found that in his news, then went on to his big collection of other experimentelle bytes, various visual works and Flash animations – some very cool diversions. I like the section of photos too. And if you don't care for the soundtrack, a little exploration with your mouse should help you discover how to change it. [F]lab is a good thing...;~))  [coolsites]
   
• norma cordova photography 7/24/06 
  Description: music, people, levis, holiday, and personal (Flash)
  Comments: A picture of a Mystery Man and the holiday series. Wow! Norma Cordova. San Francisco. Outstanding photography.  [body collector]
   
• Attaka 7/23/06 
  Description: a place which considers your creativity and talent (Flash)
  Comments: What started as magazine intended for "the spreading of Portuguese works" became more global than that at the outset. The works of 15 selected attackers are featured in the first issue and I'll just say it rocks! The site itself is pretty cool too – tasty downloads, great sounds, and a most colorful setting...  [Brain Twisting]
   
• The Wonder Association 7/22/06 
  Description: the collaboration of superheroes Benjamin Mermaid and Saint Paul the Impossible
  Comments: It's not often I get the opportunity to have superheroes, mermaids, and saints all in the same review, so I could hardly take a pass on this one. The About page is a gas. Besides, the illustrations are great!  [pixelsurgeon]
   
• Multilink Magazine 7/21/06 
  Description: free quarterly pdf magazine to download and share -- art,design, music, and film
  Comments: There's dozens of creative contributors and they want to hear from more. "If we're into what you're doing then we'll hook something up." The sixth quarterly issue was released last month. It's in pdf format with huge pages, so be prepared to move around and zoom as needed (and enjoy). Done well!  [Visual Artifacts]
   
• mru-vru.com 7/19/06 
  Description: illustrations from São Paulo
  Comments: I find the site design a bit lacking in browsing options, but the original visual content's well worth it. "Unique Colors. Creative Style. Inspired Details." I'll buy that...
   
• fr3sh55 7/17/06 
  Description: giving form to dissolving substances and fleeting sensations
  Comments: "Floating in the constant state of ecstasy and regrets, all is hypocrisy in eventuality. This instance perhaps is no exception." It started back in the 1998 as a small pop-up site, with a number of odd diversions, including the Manifesto Generator and Miami Sound Machine. From that original site, I really like Room, the visual story of a temporal happening where the public's reaction to a public space "became the performance." There's also photos and other visual works from more recent years, including a most engaging series of photos taken in Santiago.
   
• xom-tom: the photoblog 7/16/06

  Comments: Highway number one, a thoughtful portrait, and a hole – samples of Xom's superb vision. 
   
• Starduck 7/15/06 
  Description: digital films, music, and other graphic projects (Flash)
  Comments: Simulate Climate. The screeching electronic music by Proyecto Mirage and Starduck's moving graphics is a bizarre combination that'll stay in your head a while, especially if you dare to zoom in. And there's 8 other short films, all using Starduck's own music and phenomenal graphics. A vibrant creative space to say the least... 
   
• digitals by simppa 7/14/06 
  Description: digital gallery of simo santavirta (Flash)
  Comments: "Now that I'm all finished after working 14 hours a day for two months, I'll go and vacuum-clean my flat, feed my cat and kill my self with a sweaty sock and a rusty spoon." Simo launched the new site back in May after having told friends over the last 2 years that when it does launch, it'll be huge and amazing. On one hand, there's the blog and on the other, Cosmos, "a great releasing spot for upcoming inspirations." Actionscript experiments, digital art, and illustration, all wrapped up in a very cool Flash interface. Pressure's off Simo – consider me amazed and inspired...;~))  [DOPE]
   
• The Launderette 7/13/06 
  Description: stray news and reviews plus a warm fuzzy feeling
  Comments: Started "for the simple joy of writing" earlier this year, the site was "completely demolished and rebuilt for its own simple sake" just last week, "for your comfort." Well, I like it! Music news and artist reviews. And a new project that sounds awfully intriguing.  [Uailab]
   
• The Horizontal Way 7/12/06 
  Description: a showcase of horizontally scrolling websites
  Comments: It's a beautiful layout, designed to be viewed horizontally and to help you enjoy its karma, Marco offers a free download of the template along with stylesheets and scripts. And it's also a growing index of other websites intended to be viewed the horizontal way. New and different...  [nearly nice.]
   
• Zonk 7/11/06 
  Description: monthly online magazine covering what's happening in and around Perth, Australia
  Comments: "Perth. The majority of the population can't decide for the life of them whether they love it or hate it." If you're living in that part of Australia, this online magazine will fill you in on music, art, and other cultural events in the area. It's a one page monthly oddly presented as big images instead of text plus images and you won't find a single link on the page. But it is visually interesting and chock full of useful information for Perthians seeking amusement. Currently on Issue Two!  [TheNews.com.au]
   
• Helen-Borrowman.com 7/10/06 
  Description: visual art concepts
  Comments: "The clearer the message the better is the design." That's one of the lessons I guess Helen learned in Year 1 at LCC, where she just graduated (with honors). The site not only shares her works done in school, but also some other art photography and illustration. She's made some rather cool stuff so far (love the handmade books!).  [We Are Typo! < zeroin]
   
• 800 7/9/06 
  Description: visual arts magazine printed in 100 numbered copies, distributed in Italy free of charge
  Comments: While it's not clear whether the first issue will appear online in its entirety, the vagina appears to be a log of artworks submitted so far by people other than the 9 participating designers (or authors). When complete, 100 copies of the issue will be printed and distributed around Italy (for free). Let's see where this one goes...;~))  [RevolverLover]
   
• Lisa Selby 7/8/06 
  Description: works of London-based figurative artist Lisa Selby
  Comments: Lisa's oil paintings greet you as you enter the site. There's over a dozen of them and all very good in my opinion. But do check out her photos and daily doodles before you leave. Cool creativity...  [pixelsurgeon]
   
• Block20 7/7/06 
  Description: an experimental online portfolio of creative amusements
  Comments: "Download, print, create, take photo, send." That's the Hairy Zomby, a free flatback toy you print out and create yourself. For a little intellectual inspiration for the bored, there's the meaningless quotes of the week. "When there are no ideas, There will be no ideas." And some great wallpapers too. Always open ...;~))  [RevolverLover]
   
• T.Freak 7/6/06 
  Description: new art for a new era - graffiti and illustration
  Comments: A little rough in navigability and presentation, but if you like original graffiti and illustration, Hamilton's colorful works will excite you.  [Zupi]
   
• Pastoralia 7/5/06 
  Description: photographs by Tim Carpenter
  Comments: Unusual photographs. Trains. A mobile home at the crossroads. Blue doors and rust. Amazing composition and color throughout the collection. Love this! And in lieu of archives, the choice between large and small views is a nice navigation touch. 
   
• Destill.net 7/3/06 
  Description: an online creative outlet
  Comments: "He enjoys a mix of art, body popping, a little free running and a healthy amount of mango ice-tea..." As I sit here pondering what body popping could possibly be, I'm also thinking that if you're an aspiring graphic designer who's gonna put a simple, one-page site out there, fill it up with super-tasty personal illustrations like Mike did...;~))  [High Floater]
   
• Electrosphere 7/2/06 
  Description: photoblog from Germany
  Comments: I mentioned a few days ago how a certain photo was inspiring to me. Having had some time to wander through Patrick's collection of mostly black & white photos since then, I'll just say he's got a real knack for composition. Beautiful!
   
• smoke 7/1/06 
  Description: a photographer among other things
  Comments: A small collection of photographs from a guy in Chicago, presented plainly, nothing fancy. There's something about the iron mountain series of 4 that pulled me in, still occupying a space in the back of my mind. I'm kind of tired, wondering what that baseball diamond might look like in the middle of summer and what other bits of magic might show up in the future...
