I've got some new art work up there. Let me know what you think.
Bad part is that you need to have your monitor set for 1280 X 1024 or larger in order to see the whole page.

The website looks pretty good, I have a few suggestions. First off, I would shrink down the website so that it would aleast fit on a 1024x768 resolution. Also, the buttons cover up the logo too much. I use Opera for my internet browser, and the buttons coverup the word "art portfolio", although in IE it is more centered. I think it would be better if you made the logo above the buttons in IE so you won't be blocking the logo.
Besides that, you have a great site IMHO. You have some great art work, I especially liked the fat American illustration.
Good Luck. |

it would b good if you could centre the whole thing in the browser window, i run 1600x1200 and having the site over the left hand side of my screen is 'odd'
btw i generally test my sites in IE, NS and O (85% of all Windows Users use IE, but there are still those who h8 it, like me )
and why not have a contact button instead of the "for any inquiries contact me at [email protected]"
to make a button that goes to your email the command is mailto:[email protected]
appologies if you already knew this, i just assumed u didn't cos of the lack of contact button ...
FONT-SIZE: 8pt; FONT-FAMILY: verdana <-- you only targeting PC users?

ooh, nice art
my complaints:
the black part above, its irritating, i suppose its due to the mismatch in resolutions? the norm these days are 1024x768, with compatibility with 800x600, images are sliced then placed onto a background(or multiple backgrounds)so that they will take the shape of any resolution
the compression of the header image isnt good, for jpg, when saving in PS select quality of 80 (max) _________________ Derelict Studios|Godwin's Space |

the reason why that button is fubard in O is because you haven't put them in frames, they're just spacebared into postition (not very tidy), would have been better if you had put them inside a frame .. |

Hey Kamal!
You really have come along way since graduation! You're work is fantastic. I just wish you'd put up some of your older stuff
great to see you're still pumping out the art. |

Great! Thanks guys for all your feedback.
I've really got a lot to learn about html. I made this website by simply checking out some tutorials online. I think I'm going to create three different websites. One for 800x600, 1024x768 and 1280x1024 and have some sort of welcome screen that allows the user to pick the right resolution. It would be nice if this was automated though so that the user didn't have to go through a welcome page.
Thanks PolarFontey! Not sure who you are but feels cool that you remember my stuff. Thanks

let me know what you think.

Very creative sketchbook!
The music links aren't working for me.
Couldn't find the easter egg either.  |
