This site was included mostly for its interesting interactivity. As you select an item in the navigation, it opens up a new window that is then moveable and can be arranged with the other open windows. Basically, it mimics the behavior of desktop windows. A novel idea that is fun to play with.

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.
