After spending months in a coma, Berkin died this week -- reigniting anger at Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and sending thousands back into the streets in dozens of cities. Riot police were quick to react, disrupting demonstrations with water cannons, clubs, and more tear gas. At least two were killed, dozens more injured. Opposition groups are calling for further protests and are still seeking the ouster of Prime Minister Erdogan.

Inspiration and Reference sites It is easy to forget that as a concept artist, you have to constantly be thinking creatively and pushing new ideas to create something new and original. And like most concept artists, we like to think that all of our ideas are unique and different than what’s being pushed to the mass market. But it’s okay to use something you saw in a movie, at a clothes store, or something that another artist has made and then use that in your own piece. Now I’m not saying that you should directly take another’s work as your own. I am saying that you should take a look at what’s out there. There is no shame in being inspired by someone’s else’s work and then using that to create something that is yours. Plus you will are bound to find something that inspires and intrigues you. So here is a list of some of the many resource sites out there: Like many artists starting out, my first online art resource I stumbled on was deviantArt.com.
