Launched May 14, was fun to use ExpressionEngine http://www.storypixel.com

lovely looking site, and also i have been wanting to try the blurred PNG effect, with differing repeat widths, to give the 3d header effect/depth. Is all that artwork your own? it is very nice.

Thank you, all design elements on the site are mine (except the photographs used for the corn, grass, and dirt). Anything hand-drawn is mine (leaves, apples, me in overalls, fruit, footer, etc). I took the time to do all the artwork since I didn’t have much timeline pressure.

The corn photograph I commissioned from a photographer friend of mine (Dominic Rossetti) after I tried to photo a cornfield myself and failed miserably. For example I nearly broke my camera and my leg hopping a fence to get the shot only to discover I had enough batteries for one (later unusable) shot. I definitely broke my spirit and discovered I suck at photography.

Nice site,

I noticed on the about page, the text area of the contact form puts 1 pixel border on it when you click on it which pushes the “harvest in progress” sign below it down 2 pixels.  Also you might consider using a sprite sheet for the rollover on the submit button, since it flickers when you hover over it the first time (as its loading the image)

Thanks sincerely for the feedback! Just addressed the 2-pixel focus issue, and I’ll look into a sprite sheet.

Late to the party here Sam!
I’ve got a couple words on this one, I don’t think they qualify as Deadwood language, as Veerle so aptly put it in a recent twitter (my words are a bit tame to her coloful twitter post after a recent RIP though)...

Here’s goes “Kicks Ass”!

Awesome site. I especially like the “posts” page. Very nice indeed!

Thanks tremendously everyone, site got picked up by CSSElite and some others, so hopefully winning a few converts to the EE flock
