Web sites, Poster art and Fantastico People to Discover
I stole all of this. Don't hate me.
These are just a small sampling of poster Web sites that I've found, plus some online journals and creative sites that I love, find inspiring, or both. I'm always on the prowl for interesting places to visit online (especially online poster collections), so if you know of something, please let me know!
