1. GetUnderground.com – “For love, not money” is their mantra, and in their own words it is “worth repeating”. This very cool website features artists and poets from everywhere with awesome skills and inspiring work. Their columns are thought provoking, funny, and sometimes just downright silly. They feature a poetry forum where you can share and read, a music section, and welcome you to submit your art to be featured on their site. Subscribe to their mailing list to get updated when they do. To tell you about all the cool stuff here would take to long, you will just have to check it out yourself. “Creative resistance designed for the emancipation of the human spirit.”
2. WoosterCollective.com – A celebration of street art. This site has a bunch of frequently updated photo gallerys where you can check out street art from cities all over, and interviews with street artists. If you are into street art (like I am) this is a great place to get inspired, if you have no experience with it you should definitely check this site out and learn about something uber-cool that often goes uncelebrated and unnoticed. If you really like it, this site has a mailing list as well.
3. Da Vaughn Bode Site – Vaughn Bode is a crazy-cool comic artist, who published some of the earliest underground comics in the 60’s. He had an incredibly prolific (although depressingly short) career. Although he was all but ignored by the fine arts scene, he had a huge impact on pop art and heavily influenced graffiti art. His comics are nearly always lewd and mildly offensive, and sometimes downright depressing, but still brilliant. Vaugn Bode died at age 34 in 1975. His son, comic artist Mark Bode, maintains a website dedicated to his father’s work. Check it out.
