New site design

Here it is, a sexy new suit for my website. Its ready to head out on the town to show off it’s new duds in a night of frivolity and heavy drinking. Let me explain the thinking behind this.

When I first put together my site, I was all about simplicity – I just wanted a place where I could post my work, get feedback from friends, and just keep myself motivated. As such the design was simple (ie. crap) and the portfolio mixed in with other blogging.

I’ve had a couple of years of that, and now my motivations have changed.

It’s time to look a little more professional. I want a site that I can use to promote my tees and prints primarily.. something where people who perhaps aren’t on redbubble or don’t want to get involved in that community can see my stuff, comment, and maybe buy a tee or two. I need that to be permanent and sit apart from the blog.

I also want the freedom to be able to post about things other than my latest sketch. I come across a lot of fabulous art, illustration and general inspiration out there on the internet, so now I will use the blog section for that as much as for my own work. I hope my fellow illustrators might hop on here and tell me about their latest work, or art they’ve seen recently. Maybe I’ll do the occasional feature artist too.

So there you have it. I hope you like the design, at very least I hope you like it more than the old one.

    Hmmm – definitely more “bigger picture” than omphaloskepsis!

    I hereby bless the new iteration and all that sail upon her.

    Heh, thanks Cathie. I’ve got a bit more to do on it but I’m definitely happier with this design and structure than the previous one.
