I did not know that there were international fish tank layout contests. Apparently its a no-no to use opening treasure chests and bubbling deep sea divers in your layout.
In spite of that, the designs are amazing. More here and here.

If you’ve ever spent any time looking at artists’ websites (maybe because you occasionally follow links from Drawn! or something), these observations will be familiar:
In the thirteen years I’ve been on the web, twelve of which I’ve spent doing professional web site design, and the last two of which have sent me to hundreds of [...]

The most recent Big Picture at Sorabji.com has a great Picasso quote.

Threadless is pretty cool - it’s an ongoing t-shirt design contest, where users vote on the best designs and the company prints the winners.
