I dunno about the background color, but that can be because there's almost nothing to 'focus' at..

I quite like it, but fix the thin text 'Illustrations'

I don't really like dark websites much; perhaps remove that brown background? It doesn't fit with the blue.

Also, all of the fonts, in my opinion, are pretty awful.

Besides, that, nice!

If Thorn is you're real name...that's a sweet name. :o

Otherwise, nice website! Why not make the bland grey background some of your work, rather than grey. :o

Because it looks pretty bad as a background next to that blue.

The colors seem too strong - not now, but once you put some content in it you will agree.

I prefer the "Keep It Simple, Stupid" or K.I.S.S. approach to design. You may reference Google as an example.

You need to set some margins on your body text - too close to the edges. Not a fan of the background either, I would suggest a VERY subtle pattern.
