autumn whitehurst
Time to blog an interesting illustrator. So where do I go? I surfed Theispot. What a pain! It looks horrible, it navigates abominably, it doesn't want to go back to the thumbnail grid after visiting a portfolio... Boy, am I glad I don't spend my money there. So I try Altpick. (Don't even mention Portfolios!) Very civilized look, straight forward browsing, and I find a great artist straight away. Autumn Whitehurst, she's in Brooklyn. If you're interested in illustration, read the interviews.
What's wrong with the people who run these sites? The html is full of errors,it doesn't validate properly, and they still use tables and spacer .gifs? For some $600 per year, shouldn't you expect to get some quality work?
