Trying to get my artistic creativity back

I finally got something out on JasonHaley.com today. I know right now it would make the Web Sites that Suck List (so please spare me those comments), but I needed to get some stuff out for the wedding. Since I seem to create web applications (as opposed to web sites) at work, my creativity has been twisted a bit, so I am looking at some of these sites for inspiration:

glish.com
bluerobot.com
MaxDesign.com

Anyone have a tip for a guy that is stuck in web application mode trying to get his artistic creativity back?

http://cssvault.com/ highlights some cool sites. Some are subtle but nice, others are WOW cool sites.

And be sure to check the archives at the cssZenGarden. http://www.csszengarden.com/

I used to spend time going through Photoshop and Illustrator books for fun and creative pleasure, but then I became a round-the-clock .NET head. As a fellow web applications developer, I know the difficulty of getting away from being a code hound. The link Shannon gave you is definitely a winner! I'll be going back to the ZenGarden again, that's for sure.
