James White & Fabio Sasso

James White is an artist from Canada who has been working with visual design for about 12 years. He has worked for many different companies including Google, Nike, Wired Magazine, and Toyota. He started working in this field right out of school in 1998. This gave him a lot of experience quickly, especially during a time when the internet, and web design started to become much more serious of a field.
Fabio Sasso is from Brazil, and has been working with design, and web design since about 1999. Before that, Sasso worked designing stickers which is somewhat evident in his art.
Both has successful blogs that I was drawn to. The sites are relatively simple in layout, and easy to navigate. The typeface is consistent and legible. The websites are more of an elegant supplement to the material than actually works within themselves. For this particular project, I find that kind of idea, and layout much more appealing. I want my website to simply display my work, and convey a little something about my personal style without being too overwhelming to taking away from the pieces I show.
