I spend a lot of time researching.  Whether it be looking for reference images for me to base my illustrations off of, or how to make something, it all has to be gathered information.  Sometimes I'm lucky enough to have a resourceful colleague giving me sweet droplets of pure concentrated aged wisdom.  But most of the time I'm on my own to find things out for myself.

So I've gathered a lot of hopefully useful information and mainly links for all you DIYers out there.  Links of services I'd like to use and of services I have used.  I'm not being paid to recommend them, I like sharing good finds and hopefully it will save you time.
