heya.
First off, your work is excellent and you have a great sense of form and balance. Your styles are distinct and well executed. Your command of texture and color is impressive. I love the work.
Which makes me think that your purpose would be better suited by mapping out how your site works a little better. The counter on the bottom: lose it. It doesn't fit the site style and is a bit amateur, which you are not. Plus, what are you trying to prove with it?
Think about how people move through the site. If one looks at a portfolio piece, there is no secondary navigation to move to the next piece without hitting the back button or clicking the portfolio link again.
Your headers for the pages are well executed, but there is a serious stylistic break between them and the rest of the page. Incorporate that look into the rest of the page and everything will integrate nicely. Your work focuses on typography quite a bit, so integrate your understanding of typographic form into the main pages to make them more interesting to look at, rather than just functional. I'd also make your thumbnails fit a set size for each. They don't gel as a system without consistency of size and shape, and it also throws off the layout otherwise.
Read up on how to embed the quicktimes. People are more likely to look at them if they don't have to download to their desktop.
coming along, dude.
