Almost done totally revamping the new website. Few minor (yeah, right) things to finish up, but...I have a place for other Artists to post a link. Feel free...as long as I get one on your site in return. (C:
There are also Links, Downloads, etc. etc. that you can add to. I am in the process of populating these.
Please have a quick look around and let me know what ya think, suggestions, possible improvements, and bugs. Much appreciated.

I'm not an artist and I have no website (currently) to which I want to direct any traffic, but I'll try to help see if we can recruit some others.

the logo in the upper left should always be a link to the main page.

I went to your site. Has some good potential, and found the link back to the home page each time_no problem. I beleive it opened a new window each time and I ended up with 7 pages open. The images were great. The metalic background that you carry throughout (I'm an old fogy) interfered with my ability to focus on an image. Sorry, but I thought that would be something you would want to know. A simpler background would be an asset to navigation throughout, and text should be a contrasting color in fonts that are easy to read.
I am not meaning to rank you, because I think it is a site I want to go back to when you have that first little idio fixed. Lotsa images to look at, and I didn't get far into it.

Thanks for looking.
Soup: I am trying to figure that out through php, but figured the Home right there everytime would work. Thanks.
Sofapez: The background is the same light gray as on here....hmmm. May have to darken it up some, then. You must be on Windows and IE. Noticed at work that is was ALOT lighter than on my Mac here. 9and yes my monitor is calibrated and at 2.2) (C:

I think he means the checked grid background? If so, that does weird things to my eyes too! But then I'm pretty tired and I have been drinking...

the top left logo link>to>home is just one of those things engrained in the heads of many.

if there isn't a logo there isn't an issue... if there is i think it ought to work as expected.

Ahhhhhh.....K.Will have to think on that one...easy fix. But if you are registered (free!) there are 3-4 different looks you can choose. (C::
