Blog: FlameBoyGraphix.blogspot.co.uk

Flameboy.co.uk and Flameboygraphix are the respective personal website and blog of Artist, and illustrator – Steve Beaumont. The website is rather simple, but you can`t really go wrong or get lost with it. It isn't so much a website as it is a vessel for showcasing the illustrations, storyboards and concept art of his creation. I found it easy to access and navigate so I think he used technology rather sufficiently to display his work.
