Yeah, honestly, I've got to where I am today with my painting, with a few kicks in the balls along the way
, and I'm still developing my artwork.
I'm a bit of a rookie when it comes to web design, but I enjoy it, so hopefully I'll get the hang of it.

I agree you could really simplify that nav down to what Illust has suggest, but if you have hundreds of images then it might be worth while to break it up into a few galleries.
|
I'm pretty sure I will do.. The thing is I want to put my masses of work up.. BUT some galleries must take priority. I'll have a careful think about this one, how I arrange my artworks.

I also agree because you're images are so colourful the actual website can be very subtle, so as not to detract from the actual images themselves.

I tried to be subtle first up, and I ended up being bland
, I might do a 180 pixel high banner up top, we'll see..

You should also keep nav consistent on each page, the layout and fonts colours should not change, otherwise it confuses the user.

The only reason it's inconsistent at the moment, is because it's not fully designed yet, it's in progress. But once I've got the layout sorted I'll make sure it's consistent.
Honestly, most of the artist sites I know, (local artists I know from galleries) really suck. But their website is really just to support their gallery pressence, but I want to have a good web pressence, so I'll keep working at this one.
Thanks again for your feedback.
