Here’s some things we (Editors -at- illustrationfriday.com) have been told about recently and enjoyed:

• Polish up your Spanish and check out Anika Burton’s free-form sketch blog.
• Fancypantsrodgers.co.uk has a clever picture-framed portfolio design, as well as some greeting cards you might like.
• Erin Green is just finishing up her ultra-cute kid’s book, Usyou, with nifty found-object photographic illustrations, and has added a downloadable PDF of the whole thing!
• Eva-Lena Rehnmark is giving away a georgeous painting in a georgeous gesture in support of giving and the 29-day Giving Challenge.
• Dan Swartz is a vector expert with an impressive gallery.

A reminder: If you’re interested in joining the ad rotation over there on the right, we’ll need a “skyscraper” image 160 pixels wide by 600 pixels high. Then we can feature your work (at our entire discretion) occasionally/sporadically in the ad space. (See Brianna’s original idea in this post for more information.)

Happy Weekend!
