5 websites/online resources that demonstrate my areas of interest within the creative industries...
- Juxtapoz - Literally just found Nomi Chi on here and she is ridiculously good at everything I want to be good at 
- Creative Review - reviews creative things, wonderful
- Pinterest - Kind of typical but I find that it's really useful to just find what you want pretty quickly, good source of inspiration, easy to find funky illustrations
- Frankie Magazine - always have really cool cover art and also interviews with/articles on all different kinds of practitioners, mostly look at the printed magazine but they have some funky bits and pieces on their website too
- Oh Comely - not necessarily an online resource but a printed magazine that features different illustrators every issue, I've found some really great work through this magazine so thought it deserved a mention
