I really enjoy this site. I like almost everything.
I like the idea of using the typeface rich mentioned, however I also think it might look better keeping “design” and “illustration” in a simple sans type, while the “&” is in that particular type.
I expected something a little more from the contact page.
But apart from that, this is a really beautiful website.
Contact page should have a min-height set on the pg-content div so it drops down to the footer properly. As it stands it looks unfinished compared to the rest of the site where the same div has content that fills it. Using a nice contact form rather than a mailto link would do nicely to fill the space. I like the grid system that spaces out the different methods on that page, however. Maybe it’s just me, but when I see mailto links I either assume the developer is too lazy to implement one, or they simply don’t care about the user having a stand-alone mail client (which is a bad assumption in the first place). I agree with Rich and Jack on the header text. I think what they did with the names being a standard sans-serif font and the ampersand being a calligraphy font works great, but not so much with the Design & Illustration. There are times when you can go beyond the bounds of font families and do something different, I don’t see this as one of them.

I really love the illustrations, color and typography. Was nice browsing through the work section, blog has some nice illustrations posted too.
Only thing I dislike is the typeface used for ‘design / illustration’ in the header.
Wow, what a nice site.

Agreed on the contact page, forgot about that.

I really like this site. It has a really cool vintage sketchbook vibe going. Really unique illustrations as well.
The only thing I really don’t like besides the contact page is that the navigation bar’s brown text and gradient seem a tad muddy to me.
