Texture King looks to be a great free resource for photographic texture images for your design projects. I downloaded a random file and found it to be 300 PDI @ 3″ x 5″, so the files are of a decent size to use in your print projects, and perfect for web usage.

Bittbox is working on a cool new project — Conglomerfont. The idea is that creatives send in hand-created letters, and the final result will be collated into one schizophrenic, ransom-note looking über-font from everyone’s submissions. The final font will be freely available and evry paerticipating artist will get credit for their contribution.
There’s still a handful of letters — uppercase & lowercase — as well as numbers left. Head over and drop Bittbox a line about the letter you’d like to create and join the community typeface project.
I created the uppercase “G”.

Found this neat little gallery of surfboard logos via Paul Howalt on Twitter. A huge library of surfboard logos, including multiples of some.
These logos aren’t vector art or anything ready for print (unlike the Brands Of The World vector logo library), just a reference library or perhaps a design inspiration resource.
Seems a high percentage of these are photos of the logos on actual surfboards.

I just finished up a t-shirt illustration – ‘The Hairy Canary‘ – for mail-order/catalog company What On Earth for their pub t-shirts line.
The basic premise of the t-shirt designs are as follows: the artist is given a choice of bar/pub names to choose from, and from there a design is worked up to go with the name. I believe all the bars & pubs are actual places, but these aren’t officially sanctioned or anything.
From the list I was given, the name ‘Hairy Canary’ just jumped out at me and I knew it was a theme that would spark a cool illustration.
