We do not see many painter portfolios so I wanted to feature this one. There is some really nice work on display and the site is fairly well designed. I particularly like the Apple-like 3D display of the art pieces near the bottom.

This site uses bold colors and simple graphics with a high level of eye-catching contrast. When you reload the page the color of the site changes along with the shirts the guys are wearing. I love the integration of the live map into the bottom of the page, an awesome touch!

A fantastic portfolio that utilizes a dark theme and has a lot of solid design work on display. There are a lot of interesting hover effects throughout the site. When you hover over objects, they take on a digitized effect that is quite nice.
