A great looking site with very elegant,yet playful, animated transitions.

The design works very well to frame the great illustration and art work without distracting users. Check out the illustration work of this artist. Very inspiring to say the least.

the only thing that could be done better is the way the full size images are loaded. When I first visited the site, I jumped to an image that I fancy and it took a while to load. I think it was trying to load other images first (there’s a queue of images to load).
