The Drudge Report has to be one of the most comprehensive sites for international and UK news around. It looks a dog, but check the number of links, and the millions of hits it gets per day!
Photoshop Tennis anyone?
If you're feeling withdrawal symptoms now Wimbledon has finished, then pop along to the Coudal Partners Inc site. Photoshop Tennis comprises of a match between two designers to create a final piece of artwork. One serves, sending a layer of work to the other. He hits back via email with a second layer. The match continues, each player adding a new layer on top until they decide the work is complete. Judging by the results from the first two matches, we're in for some stunning play!
So many, so good
I've lost track of the hot new sites out there. I'll gradually be feeding them into my Links section, so make sure you pay a regular visit there. Here are the ones that really stood out recently:
XTRA.POP
Club Sandwich
E N E S S - The best interface design I've yet seen.
Photoshop Club
Ancient Artz

I received a new kind of jiffy bag in the post today, so I thought I'd scan in the words stamped on it. Then the whole scan looked so good, I made it into the new background for my Artwork page! I managed to compress it down to just 170K, even though it's such a large image. I then relayed the whole page to fit around it. Take a look!

Added another wallpaper image. Oddly, it's all in black and white shades - I never added any colour! Check it out via the Wallpaper link.
