Refreshed the Site
- Design, Personal, Technology
If you can’t tell I’ve been doing a bit of cleanup on the site for the past few days. I was getting a bit bored of the dark and dreary but I also didn’t want to completely dump everything about my old design. I’ve traded in the dark greys for some clean whites and crisp grey lines. I decided to keep the green as it’s simply one of my favorite colors. I’m still trying to decide if the new header is too bright. Perhaps it lacks a bit of contrast?
Overall I am very happy with it. I’ve also begun to put my portfolio back online. I developed a new Expression Engine backend driving all the thumbnails and imagery. It’s still a bit more manual than I’d like but I’m pretty happy for the most part. My next step is to get a few more sites up along with some of my print, illustration and identity work. After that I plan on moving on to my logo. The fleur-de-lis will stick around but I’ve got some ideas for some interesting twist on it.
Let me know if you find any bugs. I’m also very open to suggestions and criticism.

Holy crap, dude! You’re an insanely talented artist. I’m loving the pencil illustrations.
