Two general comments:

You need to make the text of your site banner bolder, or the background 
image lighter/less contrasty, or a combination of both. It is too hard

On your homepage blog you need to talk up your art a big more. I was not 
even sure from the text if this was your art or just stuff you found 
interesting that you wanted in your blog.
