Nice works. I'm not as big of a fan of the folio, but I won't complain too much since you seem to be mostly print/illustration based.

I'll head this one off at the pass...

Nice illustrations, and "stuffs".
The folio layout is a bit overwhelming, I'm not a big fan of plain black backgrounds...
A simpler website would've stressed the quality of your work better, in my opinion.

interesting...

Thanks all,

I am in two minds about it myself, I wonder if it is a bit too heavy. I usually use and love negative space but thought I would go the other way with this site.

Regarding the "spead" text, actually and you may not believe it but in reality its not as close to the edges as the optimised web image suggests. But you are right regarding the lost art....

All in all I think you have confirmed my thoughts.... and I thank you for your comments.

If I was you, I would have been tempted to use the work emil highlighted as part of the design - as a banner or something.
