AW Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 That fucked up graffiti font is everywhere. I wish it would go away. Your navigation isn't layed out intuitively. When I roll over the menu, the word disappears. WHY? Don't stack your type like you did with your menu. It's hard to read, and wastes space. The top area is a HUGE waste of space, and the freshest work area is to spaced out. The way the top area reloads all the time is annoying. The whole left column is to narrow and makes for annoying reading. The whole site is blended together, and there is NO hiearchy. I don't really like this site at all.

c_t Posted March 1, 2005 Author Share Posted March 1, 2005 Thx AW, good site critique there and for the most part i am in complete agreement with you. The site sucks i know, a new site is in development and should be online in a week or two. I was hoping for comments on some of the stuff i had painted and was hoping for a fairly critical audience here. more comments pls. thx again AW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AW Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 Originally posted by c_t@Mar 1 2005, 04:27 PM thx again AW Quoted post Thanks for listening. For a good simple site layout with good heiarchy go to Maxim Online. It's not the greatest site, but it does break up the content and utilizes the space well. K10K.net is also a good one to look at.

Guest imported_El Mamerro Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 Your artwork looks like it'll go somewhere in the future, you seem to have something going there, but it's still not there yet, and is in danger of not ever getting there with your current approach. Those little artist statements/descriptions you have there have to go. They come off as you being full of yourself and your art and for now it's not particularly something to be holding to such high esteem. Stop taking your stuff so seriously and discard the whole "Oh look, I'm an ARTIST" mentality and you'll improve tenfold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfiniteWisdomOfThePezDisp Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 I didn't really give a good look at your stuff. I hit a pet peeve and decided to vent. I'm really, really starting to get tired of 'Urban' as the new buzzz word. Its almost as bad as 'Extreme' or even worse 'X-treme'. Listen to mamerro.

seeking Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 i have a hard time respecting people that are too eager to make a buck. have quality work, a quality site and somewhat of a following before you go turning yourself into an art factory. otherwise it just looks opportunistic...especially with work that is sort of iconic and non-challenging. just my .02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seeking Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 still not a fan of the work, but the site is much better. i don't know why i have such a problem with what i percieve to be 'art factories', but i can't help it. maybe i'll go sit under a tree for a while and think about it.

c_t Posted March 15, 2005 Author Share Posted March 15, 2005 i don't know why you get the impression that its an art factory. i love to be creative and to try and new things and experiment. sadly the materials are quite expensive and in order to fund my little habit i need to sell my stuff and stop just giving it away.

seeking Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 why do i think that? well, for starters... "ChaosArtworks.com is owned and run by Steve Burrows, one of the United Kingdom 's most innovative new artists. Specialising in modern art, along with urban, stencil and contemporary art, the studio delivers: Fresh ideas. Innovative technique. Quality materials. A new approach to modern art. Founded in the summer of 2003, ChaosArtworks.com endeavours to bring you high quality, original works of modern art at very competitive prices. Everything produced in our studios is hand painted using high quality materials. We don't do prints, just original artworks. " now, no offense, but i see absolutely nothing particularly new, fresh, innovative, or even necessarily 'quality' about anything on there. it's pretty much the same stuff being done by thousands of kids in their bedrooms all over the world. honestly, it's almost remedial. it's nothing but iconic figures and bad acylic fades attempting to make some trite social commentary. trying to claim you need to sell the stuff in order to recoup the cost of supplies? bro, you paint on discarded records with acrylics and spray paint. that is not expensive. even your canvases...i don't know what it's like there, but here i can get a 12x12 stretched canvas frame for $2-4 (roughly a pound or 2 to you). when you place yourself at the top of any list, it automatically opens you up for a world of criticism, because you're basically challenging the rest of that field. now, i honestly don't know a whole lot about the UK art scene, but i do know that what little i've seen blows this stuff out of the water so effortlessly, that it's really no contest. i'm really not trying to be unecessarily harsh, but since you're obviously motivated enough to put this whole site together, i'd hope that you'd be motivated enough to appreciate honest criticism.
