Nice work on the site. I can't believe I fell for the cookie thing. I must be hungry.

not to sound rude but the site itself is weak. i only say this because the illustrations are so very, very strong. i was blown away. and i see this all the time with illustrators sites. is their by nature no connection between design and fine art? i allways thought their was.

thanks for the crit round-eye, my ego isn't big enough that i would take your criticism of my site as rude.
anywho my objective is to first show off my work, and secondly to make the presentation easy to navagate. i find that alot of those spiffy looking sites are way too cumbersome to navigate.
hmmmmmm..... i swear that's not a copout.... maybe next time i'll put some red... people like red.

yes, increase the navigability 10 fold! then youll have a winner!

You lying pig! You lured me in here with promises of a cookie!... but I forgive you.

I wish I knew how to make a worthwhile site...

A teacher once told me;
"If you want to sell something always make it big and red, the public likes red."

JUCAS, did you go to cooper union? there's a teacher there that said something similar to what you said. "if you can't paint something good, paint it big, if you can't paint it big, paint it red!" she was some wacky abstract woman.

Great artwork, but I agree with roundeye.
Redo the site, remember even the packaging matters, it's the first thing that someone see when they first enter the site.
I would say just redo the colors, don't go red unless you want people rushing through your site.
Hope I don't come off as an ass

Again excellent artwork.

Oh and I almos forgot, you owe me a cookie
