This is great. It's the first time I think I can say a site feels whimsical and capricious but still functions very well. And a part of me feels like those homepage effects were made by Dadaists.

Enjoyed that quite a bit :)

Working on an animation/interaction driven site at the moment where a 'character' moves down the page through a journey. Not sure which direction to go in to achieve the smoothest scrolling though. Can anyone recommend somewhere to start?

Anyone know how NASA Prospect developed this? http://nasaprospect.com/

Pure Canvas animation. So clean.

Thanks for sharing that! It has a unique and well curated history section. I hadn't heard about Fornasetti before but I'm glad I know his work now, and was introduced to him via top notch design.
