- The Glass Ceiling of Personal Growth by Dear Art Director - a tough love answer to the question "why aren't I getting any work? What magic am I missing?"
- Photographing Artwork in Museums by Howard Lyon - an incredibly detailed tutorial on how to take the best photos of gigantic paintings in museums.
