I was looking for resources on Viking/Norse art and art styles, and came across The Anatomy of Viking Art by Jonas Lau Markussen. It's a quick guide to the major styles of Norse animal ornament art, with maps, timelines, tutorials and descriptions.

The whole guide is freely available to read in its entirety online, and there are also downloadable graphics sets and illustrations.

Timeline of the Norse art styles

Tutorials explaining the anatomy of each style

shapes, outlines, flow, patterns, composition, and motifs

Downloadable graphics sets

Germanic and Norse inspired ornaments and designs, and border chain patterns (free for non-commercial use, reasonably priced for commercial use)

But wait, there's more!

A weekly newsletter, featuring original art and illustrations of Norse archaeological artifacts.

Most of the known Nordic rune stones are or will be listed, with transcripts in unicode runes, transliterated to Latin alphabet, and translated to English.
