25 Incredibly Artistic Websites – Part II
Published in GalleriesA few months ago I published a collection of incredibly artistic websites that featured illustrations, creative headers, and detailed backgrounds (Update – 25 Incredibly Artistic Websites – Part 3 has now been published as well). Since then I’ve been bookmarking a number of sites for the same reasons, so I decided to post a follow up for your design inspiration.

Another great list. A friend of mine recently showed me his latest creation and I think you might want to use it for one of these in the future, it’s awesome:

Wow, these are truly awesome web designs! I loved all of them but my favourite is Josh Tilton’s
Nice designs but most of this sites fails at one point: the interface design is more important than the content, sometimes that’s not a big trouble but a lot of times it is!
Of course, clients love eyecatching layouts!
What a great list of sites! I don’t think I could pick a favourite, thanks for bringing them to my attention!
Steven,
My favorite by far is the Basmati Tree site, as far as looks go. My sentimental fave is Tennessee Education, because that education sites are usually horrid. It is really well-done. Good for them!
Regards,
Kelly
Wow! Thank you so much for featuring my site. I am honored to be included among these designers. You totally made my day!!
I had a chance to visit “Basmati Tree” few days ago, it is great. You’ve got a nice compilation of artistic website.
Btw, I found you on del.icio.us
Great going.
great showcase; do you like to view my new web site:)?
thank you!
Glen,
Thanks for the suggestion. I like it.
Marcel,
I agree that there are other factors more important than design. Still, I find these types of sites to bring out a bit more creativity when I’m working on ideas for a site.
another nice set Steven! There are some a-m-a-z-i-n-g sites here!!

every freaking website is notepaper, stick-it notes, tape, pencil, grunge, stickers, sketch, labels, random stuff. Hah.
oh and paperclips, industrial paper clips, pens, highlighters, torn paper, paper pieces, paper, paper and more paper!
Is anyone original anymore?
Love it. Thanks for the inspiration. I’m needing to redesign my blog and this is a fabulous post.
Mihen,
You forgot about coffee cups, they’re everywhere too. There’s always going to be some trends that a lot of people are using in their design. That doesn’t mean they can’t display some creativity. I think it’s ironic that you didn’t leave a link to your own site with your comments – that’s usually how it is with people that rip on the work of others.
NJ Rebel seems to be the best…nice selection of sites
Those are great sites that really show of artistic value. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for the list – another one for the bookmark folder.
toucouleur.fr has an incredible depth of field in the header – brilliant. I normally dislike busy designs but when designed and executed to this level, it’s a different story.
That Toucouleur one is crazy, I love it.
It is. It appears crazy and carefree, but the attention to detail is astounding; even extending to the tabs at the top.
Thank you so much for including toptut.com in your list, I am so flattered to be in your top 25 together with truly spectacular top notch designs!
Amazing collection, I think I like Dean Whittaker Creative best.
This is probably one of the best listings i’ve seen of artistic websites. i’ve been doing web design for a while so i’m always looking for off the wall/eccentric stuff to get the geers of my mind turning. thanks for the post. i bookmarked it!

Thanks for posting my site!
The Tennessee series of websites is easily one of my favorites… hands down. I don’t think that any other state puts that type of effort into online marketing like they do.
These sites are full of creative inspiration again, there are some very original ideas amongst them.
i was looking at a few of those websites,
simply amazing that that can be accomplished.
they all look incredible.
great post and findings.
Wow! These are designs worth of note! If only the designers would sell their themes. Man! that would be great…
Hi! Many thanks for include my website in this post,
I’m very proud. Have a nice day!
Exactly what I was looking for! These are great!
If you want to hear a reader’s feedback
, I rate this post for 4/5. Detailed info, but I have to go to that damn msn to find the missed parts. Thank you, anyway!
Good collection! some of designs are really incredibly artistic!
artistic indeed. thanks for sharing.
love this list !
another good one to check out is http://www.wonowmedia.com
I should spend more time designing my site and perhaps appear on your next list
Great review of creativity. This certainly is a great demonstration of how both creativity and functionality can be merged in a website to give it both a unique personal flair while delivering the message or service. Bookmarked for me like many other posts here.

These are some great websites from around the web.
Great selection there. I’ve been working on a grungy site recently and it’s not easy to cut a compromise between the sketchiness and still being accessible and easy to use. Personally I prefer minimal sites for web design because they are normally cleaner and easier to use. However, more artistic sites can certainly pull a punch.
Cheers

These are works of art. I very rarely click on a site (even with the great ones you’v complied on this great site) and just paused in awww. As I clicked on these pages, I found myself doing it again, and again and again
