Holy anime-page Batman! Gadzooks! This web page has literally hundreds of links to seemingly every known anime page in the universe. You'll surf for days and weeks on end with this one. I do not think there is another anime site out there that can top this one for sheer numbers of other links.
One of the true masters of anime. This has to be seen to be believed. Even people who don't particularly like the genre wind up appreciating what Schiele has to offer. Agonizingly beautiful. The images willstay with you long after your journey here has ended. Tres bien.

An eclectic mix of art from around the world featuring original works.

This site is just getting started so be patient - it's a project that's still under progress. It is a visually rich site but unfortunately the gopher site has you download images before viewing. A web site is planned but it would be nice to also maintain the gopher site as well. Many folks do not have access to the WWW so a gopher site alernative is always nice. Besides being graphically rich, there are art auction announcements, theme topics and classified ads section. There is also a forum where you can fell free to express your ideas on art related subjects. Everyone hopes that this site will be as good as the promise it shows now. Check it out and then come back and visit later - watch a fine project in developement.
Another well done home page with many links to other fine-arts sites and fine-arts information related sites. (Go Temple Owls!)
Is it an art exhibit or a cafe? Well... it's a little of both. Solon is your host as you enter into "Coffee Talk" and then find tons of links to coffee related pages. You'll find an exhaustive listing of coffeehouses, cafes, coffee recipes, coffee related links and even coffee related sounds! You can also choose to head into Solon's digital "Art Gallery" and see some of the work that is exhibited there. I liked the Coffee Talk section much better than the Art Gallery but you be the judge... In any case the Coffee section and its links are worth the trip alone. Cream and sugar?

OK - so you're too lazy to make your own icons. Well fret no more! Here is a place where you can browse for Icons for many different platforms (DOS/ Windows and Mac). They are freely available. This site also contains many graphic-related, painting and drawing shareware programs. Very good site.

The "Paint Calculator" will figure out just how many gallons you'll need for the job. It's accurate and not a toy. This is a professional tool.
Not for the faint of heart. Truly a self-named "cesspool of hyper-reality" Shocking and engaging - like looking at a horrible motor vehicle accident.

Art Bin is a Swedish/international forum for art, literature, music, cultural politics etc. Here you will find articles, essays, poetry, fiction, paintings and music as well as some rare classical and other source texts.

MIT Media Lab's version of the Hallmark card rack. You can pick a postcard out of 35 designs and send them to friends by typing in their email address and then typing in your message on the virtual "postcard". Then add your name and address and hit "Send" and away it goes. Color and b/w postcards are available for the choosing. This sure beats going shopping for cards. The recipient will get a claim number and email notification that their postcard is ready and waiting at the site's pick-up address. This is where the recipient of your digital fondness can view your postcard greetings. If the recipient does not have a graphical web browser they can still see the text of the postcard - but will not be able to view the graphics. Great for sending those friends of yours a greeting when you're off on virtual vacations. No need to stop surfin and shop for cards! WAY COOL!

A good reference site that lets the user search for artists that have work or creations displayed on the Internet. This is one of the few searchable databases specific to artists on the web. Artist listings are updated on a regular basis along with the Internet locations of their displayed work.
A graphical trip into the realms of life's paradoxes and beyond. The images are mystifyingly beautiful in a serene yet haunting way. I am not one to offer judgemental decisions and so you're own your own after you reach this destination. Everyone who visits sees Paradox in a different way and I defy you to explain everything you see with rational mind. It sounds odd but these are images that you feel rather than see. You have to see this.
Various graphics relating to Vietnam. Well run archive. Lots of Pics!
If this were just a wonderful exhibit of Romanov art and treasures then it would be a fantastic virtual art exhibit to explore. But it's even more than that! Not only does this site contain a virtual exhibit filled with eleven galleries to see - it also offers insights and info into the Russian culture and what life was like in the time of the Czars. This is both a visually stimulating and educational tour brought to you by the Florida International Museum at St. Petersburg. Simply wonderful! *****
A photographic journey of architectural design awaits you at this site.
All sorts of architectural info with links and related links to many other gopher sites. Text files, drawings, diagrams, etc. This is a great place to start finding out about arcitecture and architectural design. You may ask, "Why is this topic in this section?" My reply is that I feel that architecture and architectural design is an artform unto itself and so I choose to place this information in this section of BIGSURF.
Lots of links to architectural related resources. This site includes an easy to use search engine so you can find a particular site or information you need. This is one of the best web sites to start your architectural surfing adventures. Pictures, texts and historical perspectives are all included and the linked sites are all very informative and well done.
Jeanne Brown, the architectural resources librarian at UNLV has created what might be the most complete and comprehensive list of architectural net resources available. Anyone interested in this topic should check read this highly detailed directory listing. With a list like this in your hands you'll have the world of architectural net resources within your grasp.
This is a powerful image-filled site that is like "LIFE" Magazine only better. Photo journalistic efforts combine text and pictures with topics that are varied. It is one thing to read, for example, about the plight of people in Yugoslavia but it is another to view powerful images while you read. I really enjoyed this "museum" but it is rather a fine exhibtion of photo-journalism that will keep you informed and interested. Excellent.
An extensive multimedia guide for novice Internet users. It explains the file formats for texts, compressed files, games, software, pictures, sound and music, movies, foreign languages, etc. It also explains the ways to identify the different files and how to download and use the files. There are many pointers within the guide that you can use to download the files. This info is mostly for PC users but some of the information is essential even for Mac users and is general enough to be of importance for all users.
A Basic Scanned Image Formula for calculating Image File Size Multiply the number of inches high by the scan resolution (dpi). This will equal the number of Pixels high the image is. Multiply the number of inches wide by the scan resolution (in dpi) The answer you get will be the number of pixels wide the image is. Multiply the number of pixels high by the number of pixels wide. Multiply that by the color depth in bits e.g. 8bit 16bit 24bit 32bit Then divide by 8bits to the byte. Example: 12" X 12" at 300 dots per inch in 24bit color. 12" X 300dpi = 3600 pixels high 12" X 300dpi = 3600 pixels wide 3600 high X 3600 wide = 12.96 mega-pixels 24 bits per pixel X 12.96 mega-pixels = 311.04 mega-bits 311.04 mega-bits / 8 bits to a byte = 38.88 mega-bytes of data or... a 12" x 12" 24bit color image will take up roughly 39 megabytes.
These figures represent non-compressed image data. Using JPEG, compressed PICT or other compression algorithms may significantly lower the file size considerably (and sometimes also lower the file's perceived image quality).
Everything you wanted to know about proper scanning tecniques and more. Jeff Bone at the Univ. of Alabama created this page. He covers four primary categories of scanning material. Line Art, Half-tones, grayscale and color. There is also info on address resolution and copyright issues. The techniques have graphic examples right on the web page. If you do any scanning whatsoever - then you need to read this page!
Information, discussions and white papers on various graphic formats. Not just for the technically minded but developers are intended audience.
Enough sites? Look for the ".mpg" or ".mpeg" suffixes and those will be the MPEG animations you came looking for. Don't forget - you'll need a MPEG viewer to see all these great files. See the chapter(s) "Mostly Mac" for more information on where to obtain SPARKLE (MPEG viewer for Macintosh).
Lots of information and pointers/links to information on the technicalites of how best to process and understand the MPEG file format structure. If you are planning to make MPEG multimedia or video then you need to come here first! An abundance of information awaits the MPEG-minded traveller!
