New Portfolio on Carbonmade
tidbitart:
I finally put some images up with my brand new portfolio at Carbonmade. I really like the layout and simplicity of the site. The guys there did an awesome job at making it user-friendly and stylish at the same time. I don’t have much up yet, since I’m kind of a perfectionist (I’ve thrown a lot of my artwork away over the years). However, I did put a link to it on my sidebar, so go...

Spencer - We feel that artists should be focused on producing their work and not have to worry about how it’s displayed. Carbonmade keeps the artists’ work at the forefront so as not to get in the way of their work. We’re basically a virtual representation of an old school “offline” portfolio. We provide the...
