You can find the latest mockups and designs on the gnome-shell-design 
git repository over here: 
http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-shell-design. If you know how to use 
git, cd into a new directory (for example, ~/git/gnome-shell-design/) 
and run "git clone git://git.gnome.org/gnome-shell-design". The 
repository, last I checked, should take a little while to download 
depending on your internet connection (I believe it was a hundred or two 
megabytes in size). If your connection isn't so fast (or you don't feel 
like cloning an entire repository), then you can go to 
http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-shell-design/tree/mockups/static. The 
files in this folder of the repository are all of the latest mockups in 
PNG format (the folder "svg" contains SVG images as well). To see the 
mockups, click the name of any image, and you'll see something that 
looks like this at the top: "path: root/mockups/static/access-menu.png 
(plain)". Click the "plain" part and you can see the image in your web 
browser.

As for the latest screenshots, Florian Mullner has been working on it in 
his overview relayout 
<http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-shell/log/?h=overview-relayout> 
branch for gnome shell. He has done a fantastic job so far, but 
unfortunately I cannot provide you with screenshots since I can't get 
Gnome Shell to build on Arch Linux. Building GNOME Shell yourself could 
let you see the latest progress, but it might be better to wait until 
the first stable release when GNOME 3 is released.
