You do good work mate, I always have a look at the caricature drawings when you pass them on touristy shopping roads in big city's.
Are you trying to create the same atmosphere with the streetlights?

Your site looks good:
markup is all valid - well done. css is valid with no eorrs too, but there are some warnings worth paying attention to - just for that extra bit of accessibility for people who play about with their browser preferences to adjust colours or webpages...

Nice!
also, while the markup validates, there's still some extra measures u can take to improve the semantic quality, for example you could markup your footer nagivation as an unordered list and add the | with css
site is very pretty and well designed though - lots of hard work gone into it. well done

First impressions: Very good, loads quickly and I was instantly impressed.
Content: This is a let down, you copy does not flow, it seems like you have wrote it for search engines not your visitors
We specialise in hand-drawn digital caricature from photos. Unlike those drawn on paper, digital caricature gives you the ability to have drawings at a very high resolution in vector format
This sentence highlights what I mean, it is far too technical the bold word should be a plural
Optimisation: Tags are good, (just picked myself off the floor), no anchor text and sub page urls are poor.
Adsense: You have spent a long time designing a cracking website and then you devalue it by adding adsense, oh boy.
Summary: The devil is always in the detail, I cannot decide if it is a thumbs up or thumbs down. So I will go for an average rating. Rest assured with some optimisation and some tidying up this could be a cracking site. You will just need to incorporate a well structured link building campaign. I would also consider adding a blog, you could write a few paragraphs on your new drawings, then bookmark the articles.
Good Luck

I think it looks great, there are a couple things that could be changed (read the post above me), but still, amazing design and work...
Best of luck...
PS, those animated caricatures are awesome

Never write content for search engines, write them for your visitors. You can still add the odd keyword(s) but copy has to flow and match the theme of the site.
The problem most sites have is their copy is too complicates, does not flow and sounds like robotic spam. Its difficult to find the right balance, the first few lines are critical, you want to draw people in by using articulate well researched copy.
The keywords you target in your meta tags, try and add them in your first sentence, then have a sprinkling of anchor text, to link sub pages together. In regards to frequency never have more than 4 keywords every 100 words.
