LINK -mania

i have spent tooo much time blog skipping!!  i can't unglue myself when there are sooo many incredible artists to visit.
i wanted to create lists of some that i have found, attempting to organize them by media, i guess. i don't mean to compartmentalize or generalize, i just have them listed according to the parts of the sites i visited and enjoyed.

ps: i have just started this list - it's all of my favorite art/photos that i have adored on flickr, in a nice format to look through -please come back as i add from my bookmarks--
