Great Photo Reference Sites for Artists and Illustrators

As many would already know, the Kohrman Report is an excellent site by one David Kohrman in his odyssey in chronicling the majestic old decaying buildings of Detroit and the surrounding areas.

His other site, Forgotten Detroit, is another masterpiece in the same vein.

The blog and website have an excellent collection of photos which can make splendid references for comic book artists (yes, especially if you have a penchant for dark futures, dystopian worlds and so forth), illustrators and artists (Perspectives anyone?).

I highly recommend the blog and the website. I also applaud his effort.

"They fled. The American louts fled. Indeed, concerning the fighting waged by the heroes of the Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party yesterday, one amazing thing really is the cowardice of the American soldiers. We had not anticipated this."
