Interested in contacting me about a show opportunity or you have a question I’ve done a redesign of the site. Got tired of the old design and needed to change it up. The biggest changes are the artwork section now uses and index page with thumbnails and single artwork pages. I’ve switched from using my home grown store to etsy.com. There are still some things that need to be addressed, but it’s about 90% there.

Looks great thus far. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I’m a huge fan of Minimalism so the whole grid layout and simplicity does it for me. Looking forward to final result.

Rik!
I emailed you but I felt compelled to comment as well. Gotta agree with Jorge– the grid is really brilliant. I love the content you have going on here. What are you using for a CMS?

Thanks Jorge & Joe
Joe the site is built off of wordpress. I wrote some custom code for the artwork section to integrate with my flickr account via the flickr api.

Very Nice. The artwork section is awesome. I love how its done.
Are you planning on releasing your old design? It’d make a great WordPress theme. If you want I could help you put in all the WordPress tags and get it ready. Just send me an email.

Zach, I may release the theme in a coupe of months. Just have to get time to make it more of a universal theme.
↓ Zach K @ March 17th, 2008 at 3:15 pm
Ok, Cool.

I miss your old design, but that’s typical emotions when a talented designer redesigns his sites. :(
Moving forward, I’m impressed again. Nice work.

Hi Rik,
Great piece indeed. But the colorscheme is a bit too dark. I mean, the text is too hard to read (at least to my eyes).
