So I finally managed to combine my blog with my website, and revamp the overall design. It's simpler but I think it works. www.skoonberg.com Basically I wanted to have a simple gallery page with a selection of my most recent work; you know the professional selection.

I am really new to the online business thing so any advice or encouragement is appreciated. Everything purchased in my shop will ultimately help me pay for grad school :D Just to be clear what you buy from Etsy are hand pulled original prints and not to be confused with digital reproductions.
