INSPIRATION
Pete Fowler
I have loved Pete's work since his cover of the second Super Furry Animals album. Perhaps my single biggest influence.
The Chopping Block
Some top notch, cutting edge web design here. Everyone should strive to get to this level.
Raymond Pettibon
I have found myself sometimes imitating Raymond's style without even being aware of it.
Roger Dean
Roger and his brother Martyn can come up with some undeniably pleasing aesthetics, whether they're in vogue or not.
Andy Warhol
Should go without saying.

This guy is so good, I'm not even jealous.

All designers should check out this site at least once a month.

Cute.
Super 7
Faux kaiju greatness.

Not as essential as the DSVC, but a great resource nonetheless.
