I was gonna say the same thing. The home page is very distracting. The fonts and colors clash with the background images. There are a few typos that should be fixed as well. Just thoughts that will help with the site being taken more seriously.
What are the typos?

ABOUT
NOTE: IF YOU DON'T SEE THE MENU: TO ACCESS THE MENU ON MOBILE OR TABLET DEVICES, TAP ON THE UPPER RIGHT HAND CORNER !!!
My name is John C. Spain. I'm from Buffalo, NY but currently live in Brooklyn, NY. I graduated from Buffalo State College in 2010 with a B.F.A in Graphic Design. I consider myself a Renaissance Man. I'm many other things: a genius, philosopher, teacher, entrepreneur and motivator.

I have my own original artistic style. My art comes from the soul. I create thought provoking images that are aesthetically pleasing to the eye. My process is very spontaneous. I create straight from the imagination. I like to think of myself as a freestyle artist. I like this process because it ensure that every piece of art that I make will be unique & one of a kind. My goal is to provoke thought and emotion out of the viewer. I like to talk about real life subjects that's personal to me and fascinate me like: (Spirituality, Politics, Race, Society, Human Nature, Human Emotion, Education, Death ... etc)

aint nothing wrong with your "image".

You just don't have anybody to vent "deep" thoughts to in real life.

People are quick to say "jot that shyt in a journal" or whatever

but there's really no point if there's no audience

right?

am i right? :yeshrug:

I'm not planning on being phoney...just simply not speaking no more unless it's a check negotiation

I need to be about my business, and emotion and bus don't mix...I've learned that the hard way through out my life

Being a broke rebel isn't fun

I want to change my posting style and be taken seriously as a professional. No more 'rants' or personal thoughts no more. I take my career seriously and don't want people online here or otherwise to let my personality take away from my art.

I'm finalizing my temporary online store and if u like my any of my work please feel free to buy even of I might have offended you my personal beliefs. I'm human and go through things and vent the pain but Dont let me overshadow the work that I provide.y art means the world to me and I think the world needs it.

I want to make amends and start fresh. I'm building my Career steadily and growing and I don't want the bad energy.

So I'm only going to post art and business things. If I don't have nothing positive to say I swear I won't say anything. I'll mind my business...no more negativity...I promise...y'all got my word...no more

I'm really ready to push my career to the next level and Change creativity for the betterment of mankind. So if we had problems in the past let's start fresh.

Enjoy the work and don't let our past issues stop you from purchasing my products or services.

I say this humbly. I appreciate any support.

Www.Johnspainart.com

And check out.my blog

I got music videos, short stories and films coming...plus my visual art which will be available soon for purchase. I'm finishing the store now.

Signed with love and respect
DrX


Rooting for you.

Just to reiterate I think your homepage should be showcasing your best work with some kind of sliding gallery. The About section is usually placed last. Maybe the menu could be spread horizontally at the top of the page instead with your contact info always appearing at the bottom right hand corner when you scroll or change pages?
