Artists website.

To view the website you use the arrow keys to control the little person as though being in an actual gallery with the artists work on the walls. To look at the image closer you control the person to walk up to the image. 

I love this website because of how interactive it is, it makes the whole viewing experience really creative and exciting. Its an idea that has been considered outside the box.
