another plug: Andrew Shek

Whilst i grind away on free-lance and preparing future tutorials take a look at this blokes blog! Andrew Shek www.elephantart.blogspot.com . Sometimes there are people that just understand something, in this case, it's design. I've always kinda had bland, sucky designs so when i see someones work like Andrew it always makes me wanna work harder at getting better with design. Take a look!
And heck while your at it take a look at this girls blog too! Robin Hall at http://idlesiren.blogspot.com/. She too very obviously has a gift for design and puts me to shame man!
