Some kind NT'ers have helped me out with this in the last couple of days but I think it's at the stage where I can go live now.
Any useful feedback appreciated (note, I'm not a web builder so it's not all flashes, whizzes and bangs - it's just what I could in dreamweaver)

great work.
i would say thou go right into the one pager. it took me a second to realize what to do. i was clicking on the orange bar and then realized the two nav items were the small light grey text...
- chunkified0
yea i'd go with just a one pager :)

I had a hard time finding the navigation... somebody else said it, to small and grey.
Also I usually prefer to be able to link to a project directly, in other words, once your in the project section, give the user the ability to jump around in the projects (navigation item for each) as opposed to having them click one by one.
Great work!

it's dope! a wee bit difficult find your way around the site but apart from that it's dope ;)

Top notch work mate!
I also feel you should hit them with the work right off the bat. It took me a second to figure it out too.
I would also include your contact info on the pg. Don't make them have to download your resume just to contact you via phone. And I would think about spelling out your email addy too. I know it will open up the default email program...but some people might be using online email. Give them the option.
Put your email address on your resume too.
Again nice work.

Nice work. I found the sentence long links to be an annoying barrier. Also on the multi-page version you have to scroll to see the work each time even on 1280. The top is wasted space in that sense.

Great work. As already said, make it a little easy to see the work and contact you.
Nicely done.

great. really. go with the one page only. maybe more white space between projects.
and you spelled your name wrong.

hi,
Congrat.
I think your work is really lovely.
And the site is looking mighty fine too.Only thing I would comment on is the drawing / sketches section. I thought I saw a version last week when you had each sketch in a note pad layout?
I showed my sister your site at the weekend as she is doing an art course and skethcing loads ad thought she would find it an inspriation. However, she only has a small screen and we struggled to see the whole sketch.
In my opinion wit this layout, you really loose the effect of your sketches as its harder to see the whole sketch.

Thanks for your comments Pollypocket. Not sure the note pad layout was mine unless you mean the last version of the site. I was thinking that perhaps the sketches should come down a bit in size but they are only there to give a taster. I used to maintaina a separate site dedicated purely to the sketches but too busy to now. If you like them though, I'm uploading them to http://www.flickr.com/photos/jer… so you can check out more sketches there.

any more?
- gramme0
nice work, and nice work. best wishes in finding a job(s), I don't think you'll have too much trouble with that.
:)
- JerseyRaindog0
Thanks gramme, and thanks everyone else for your comments. I've made some changes and I think it's finally there. All the better for everyone's input.
