Its been a while since I posted a video here on Graphic River! Life has been super busy for me. I just got married, am buying a house, and loads of other stuff. None the less, I got a good video for you today!
The question, answer, and video are below the jump.

I recently did a post over at Outlaw Design Blog that I though you guys might like. Well, you will like it if you are a Mac user 
It is a collection of some very cool and creative Mac desktops. Im not just talking about some cool icons and a neat wallpaper, but really tricked out themes.
Hand drawn design elements are extremely popular, but I have yet to see very many in the Graphic River Marketplace. I think a few collections of well thought out and well crafted hand drawn elements could go over well. To get you started, I decide dto share this great tutorial from Web Designer Wall.
Recently I did a post over at PSD tuts that showcased 50 digital painting tutorials. That post provided me the opportunity to explore a variety of digital artists, portfolio, and websites. These sites and portfolios made me remember how impressive digital artists can be. So today I spent several hours just browsing my favorite digital art site, CG Society. If you have never browsed this site before, I highly suggest you do.
The site showcases just about every kind of digital art you can think of. From 3D rendering to pure digital painting, this site has it all. While there is sooooo many amazing artists on there, I picked 42 of my favorite works today to share with you. I hope you like these picks and that they inspire you as much as they have for me.

In this day in age where many websites seem to be shiny duplicates of one another it is always a pleasant surprise when you come across one with a more muted color pallet. Who ever said that you had to have a bold and colorful website design to make it stand out? Seems like by doing the exact opposite would help you stand out even more these days. If you are working on a web design with more muted color scheme, check out these design resources.

A while back I did a post on 51 Freelance Creatives to Follow on Twitter. As Twitter has become more and more popular, there are more and more great people to follow. A new website called TwiTs Mag has published a multi part post with some great Twitter users in the design community.
Somehow I didn’t make either of these lists….
Part 1: 50 Creative Tweeps in web & Desktop Publishing to Follow on Twitter
Part 2: 50 Creative Tweeps in web & Desktop Publishing to Follow on Twitter
Well designed icon sets seem to do pretty well on Graphic River. In order to help some of you better your icon design skills and maybe get some extra sales, I thought I would share with you this huge roundup of icon design tutorials by Blog Spoon Graphics.
I am completely in love with, and very jealous, of the Go Media headquarters. I think any designer who has seen it probably feels the same way. One day I should be so lucky to have my own office as cool as this place. They recently put together a post that outlined the design and development of their new office.

There are no shortage of inspirational post out on the internet these days. I publish plenty of them myself, both here and on Outlaw Design Blog. Rather than share another generic inspirational post on a given topic, I want to share with you some of the odd places that I draw inspiration from. Some of these I’m sure other designers draw inspiration from, but I think a number of them might be places that you have never thought of to look at for inspiration.

I have been using Pattern Tap for quite some time to get inspiration for specific elements in my web designs. For whatever reason, I didn’t know about MephoBox until recently. In case you happened to also miss out on one or the other, I decided to share them with you. So the next time you need some idea for a footer design, styling comments, or any other web element, check out these sites.
