Classic example of what's bad about modern web site design. 1.5MB of javascript and misc overhead with a spinner over a blank page to load < 1KB of text and 5 small thumbnails.

I'm sure it looks great on an iMac (that's all artists and designers use, right?)

Looks okay on an iMac. Loads very slowly. Has poor navigation - doesn't keep your place if you click on an item and then click Back.

The content is absolutely fascinating, but I wish the images weren't just thumbnails.

click to view the image url and you'll find you can strip off the parameters to get a bigger image

This site is worth a look. It's as beautiful as it has been for over a decade (through a couple of designs at least). Still JS heavy, but loads in less than a second for me.
