I don’t know how many of my readers know about Illustration Friday, but it’s a great little site that provides inspiration through new ideas through that are posted as weekly challenges. A topic is posted every Friday and then participants have all week to come up with their own interpretation. Then, one image is chosen randomly from the previous week to be displayed.

Another helpful part of Illustration Friday is the art forum. The art forum is meant to build a creative community. A safe place to discuss creative issues, ask questions or just get feedback on your work. If you’re anything like me, you’ll spend hours looking through the great talent shown on this site…
