The links are rather small on a page with a fair bit going on (a side effect of having the site open to the new work/news page rather than the old home page). Also, you have to drill down three times before you see the first full size image and feel that you have left the News page and arrived at the gallery. My thought would be to make the "Illustration" link more inviting than the rest of the links. I would also have a click on "Illustration" immediately open to a default section of the gallery (probably "People"), and have a default image open (perhaps random) rather than requiring the second and third drill-down. I should point out that, other than that, I think the site is suberbly crafted and beautifully designed.

I haven't yet heard that clicking on the "Illustration" link is unintiutive. I suppose it's the same as clicking on a "Portfolio" link on any portfolio site. I wanted to have the "Recent Projects" section the foremost section on the site, which, of course, showcases new work. I'm open to hearing your suggestions to improving the site. Thanks.
