⁂ Finds from the stars
Welcome to my link page. You'll see americana trash, morbid curiosities and whatever makes my neurons fire in squiggly lines. I gathered most of these from the Wayback Machine and its zillions of old link pages. Many of these sites are not safe for work. Make sure your managers, neighbors, or parents are not lurking over your shoulder.

Hall of Fame
Betty's Graphics
A neocities site for old web graphics. Out of all the repositories I've seen, this one feels the most authentic. It just shows you what there is, no bells or whistles. Very useful for designing old-school websites if you don't like Gifcities.
Encyclopedia Metallum
A classic website for all things metal, both old school and new school. Stuffed to the brim with album reviews, band information, biographies, song lyrics, and discussion. The design has not changed whatsoever since I was 13 years old in 2006. Very nostalgic for me because I read it all the time back in the day and I found so many great albums on it!
Roomstyler
A browser-based 3d modeling app that allows you to create interior spaces using premade drag-and-drop assets. You can take photos of the designs from every angle and export them, so it's extremely useful for perspective drawing. I've designed my characters' entire houses with them. It has been a godsend for my process.
Vixen Controlled Archives
I discovered this website when I was a tween, aka much too young to be looking at its contents, and it enthralled me. I'd been drawing anthros since I could hold a pencil, but didn't know that furries existed. I spent entire afternoons trawling through the artist archives and took so much influence from it.
