This is a little strange for me as during my research i found that me and the particular Artist (who i have referenced before) went to college with - i cant remember his artwork then but he was a good black jack player..... I'm interested in the way he comes across online...
Acer1 has a very simple "online portfolio", the profile starts with a welcome & introduction then goes straight into a great quote from Joseph Campbell which reinforces his connection to pseudonyms, sub cultures & "the Bristol street art/Graffiti movement" (covered his bases there), but then has his real name in brackets because although he has a part in this culture he is also a "serious" (fine?) artist.....
Fro the top set of clickable text "Follow me" has Blog - similar high quality photographs, also the same colour scheme, Flickr link (images stored here) Twitter & "Creative Arts" which takes you to a plain white blog called " Luke Palmer Arts - people and creativity, research and reflection" which as the title suggests is a more personal account of his daily/everyday comings and goings - unfortunately this blog seems a little abandoned, it is however only a small link that the majority of people will never actually read.
The main tabs to navigate, Starting with Profile, are highlighted with a yellow box (yellow text are all hyperlinks), Current - the 3x3 photo grid structure stays - the actual photo change, each can be enlarged (& shared) individually - these show certain works in situ in gallery space, the text column also changes to explain the images in a narrative way. Paintings - same as Current except the photographs include murals and the whole set can be advanced to show more work. Photography - same grid - new quote, lots of photograph's showing areas of "the city" and statues double exposed with added (layered?) light trails - very busy scenes - much like his paintings.....
Overall this site and its SEO give the impression of a professional, contemporary Artist, with his finger on the pulse of a growing artistic sub culture. I think the colour scheme fits well with his persona although it seems to scream photographer rather than artist.... m
