Best of the Web #38

priscilla-queen-of-the-desertHello again everyone, hope you all had a great weekend and enjoyed some time off (or got a lot of work done if you’re a workaholic like me).  Monday is here again, even though it seems like it was yesterday, so that means it’s time for Best of the Web #38.

Last week was a busy week around the design community, a lot of posts and information were created, so it was pretty hard to keep up with it all.  There were some really great inspirational roundups of a variety of forms of digital art, along with an invaluable list of tips on dealing with bad clients (which we all have dealt with a time or two).  Also, there was a great roundup of icon tutorials by a new design blog in the community.

So be sure to check out all the posts below, and check back tomorrow because I’ll have some more awesome posts coming this week, along with the launch of some new sites I’ve been working on for awhile.

Have a great day everyone, and take a moment to breathe, relax and enjoy life.
