I guess in the United States of Jesus, nudity will offend. Although this Swede thinks it is art and the site does not need a warning.
Having said that, the style of art is cool, retro eighties. And well done at that. It is a pity that you have the neat graphics on top and then your plain old boring file folders at bottom. It would be extra cool if you could have the made the interface and gateway to your illustrations, etc, in the same kind of style as your artwork.

I think you've pulled off the style well, it doesnt suit me - but I can still recognize youre acheivement of a style ;)
And the warning thing is just something Kirupa tends to like you put up there cuz there are tone of 13yr olds and younger on the forums.... I agree it isnt offensive or anything it is art, but as I said Kirupa would still probably want a lil' warning.
Peace

Not a big fan of the popup, and i get a runtime error on entering it. Some of the actual site looks a little repetetive and rushed. Maybe change those boring page things at the bottom to screenshots.
Interesting site,

Fogive me for asking.... but why is this flash?? especially the intro page... which does NOT need to be flash at all. There's no movement on the site at all, and everything there can easily be recreated using html, and in turn, will be more widely accessible. But other than that, i do like the style and look, but it could be greatly enhanced if you actually took advantage of Flash's powers.

Well - Thats the only way I know how to build a site. If I know how to just make it HTML- I would. But that is a great idea. the more accessible the better. I would love to do more flash but I'm still learning. Thanks for your time and suggestions fasterthanlight.

Heavy on load. For 1024* won't scroll down fully. Had to F11. Some pixel fonts are blurry. Nice style, btw.

i loved the picture of the pink bear and the dude with the headphones - and loved the design aspect of the site. you're very talented - good job.
layout could be a little more user friendly. i didn't realise the scrollbar for a while. and some text is hard to read.
don't like the file picture for the portfolio area. i've just seen this great artwork and then i get disappointed with the files.
and it's true - everything you've done with flash could easily be done in html.
but good job still

Ok - Look into getting a better font.
More user friendly.
I can't thank everyone enough for all your time and help.
the site will be back and better then ever.

ya, either think up a new way of displaying your portfolio, or somehow make it easily distinguishable between links that link to content, and those that simply do not. Also, once someone clicks a file, it should change colour, or opacity or whatever, so that the user know's which one's they've been to and which they havent. Oh and throw some easter eggs in there just to up the interactivity of it all.

I think I'm better off coming up with a new way of displaying my port. I really hate looking at my work - but I'm glad I did. After checking my link, design not that bad- then I see the file folders - s_it is ugly.
Back to work.
Thanks fasterthanlight
