I like a lot of the **** yall are sharing. Where do you guys find this stuff?

[Chiomara]

Well, many of the ones I post are just from my blog archives, though I find many on other art blogs (though sadly the best ones often end up shutting down) as well, or though aimless googling.

50 Watts is a good one for old obscure book illustrations and the like.
Monster Brains is fantastic all around (LOOK at these amazing old Thai horror film posters!). Unquiet Things is great if you like strange and macabre type stuff in general.

And there's some wonderful general art/photography tumblr blogs that have been around for several years like Nevver,2 Headed Snake and Barns Burnt Down Now.
.. For photography specifically I like this one and [nevermind, they shut down too]

Some online magazines/other blogs: This Is Colossal, BeinArt, Strange Attractor

Thanks. Always looking for really good artists. Especially for album art. I one time paid 50 bucks for this piece where this guy burned a bunch of **** and melted these wire hangers together to look like a rib cage then put this red light in it that vibrates for my song Nigrum Cor. It fell a part though as I pulled it out the box though. That dude owes me a repair. But it was still really awesome.
