Well I get what he was trying to do.. Create an ambient environment to view his work in. But is the ambient environment helpful to his work, or is it something that goes past grunge? I think the first showcase could use some work. And lastly is the ambient environment technically alive enough to be worthy of showcasing? the comments were clearly that it was flat. I think it's a great idea to introduce something original whether it be a piece of your personality or your perspective in the way you see the world that is different or unique. That is what clients or your target audience is looking for. They want to be woo'd and awe'd so take the tough criticism for a grain of salt but they did hit on a few key points to take away and improve the user interface and user experience of your portfolio. And I'd like to just add that your viewing area for your work, felt small. Maybe increase it atleast enough to be viewed at 800 pixels wide. Also if you're going for ambient and you use flash, you'll cut out alot of iphone users not that it matters all that much. But its something to keep in mind, you might want a secondary portfolio site like a portfolio hosting site ( you know a few options ) that you can send iphone users traffic too. Their is a script for that somewhere online to redirect users.
