Juxtapoz Magazine is a fun website to go to for illustrative art, graffiti style art and cartoony urban art.
Artforum Magazine is good for contemporary fine art. This is the kind of art you might see on Art:21 the program we watch in class that is on PBS. This is also the kind of art you might see in fancy pants art galleries in New York and Milan

Aperture Magazine is a fine art photography magazine.



Here is a list of some other art magazines...

John Paul Doguin
















Here is some photography work from one of my best friends John Paul. He lives in Boston now. He shoots at night time with a view camera which is one of those big cameras with the bellows and fabric that you put over your head. I love his work and I hope you check it out.
