ooops...I forgot I wanted to say that I think seom of you were dead-on with the color in my portfolio section. I am gonna try and show the colors without the overlay and see what happens. I am really trying to lighten it up a great deal because soooo many people are having trouble reading the words. Thanks to everyone!

I think it looks very nice. I especially like the texture of some of the graphics. The old, worn texture. I have liked that and seenit a few times before, wondering how it is acheived. Is it a photoshop filter?
Anyway, looks nice.

your portfolio gets a little repetitive. do have anything BESIDES websites to show? perhaps some photography or illustrations that you made to incorporate on your web stuff? you spent so much time on your 'website' your work seems like an afterthought.
also, you have a 'hand-drawn' feel to much of your site, but all of your work suggests nothing of the human touch.

good point Rementer. The hand drawing appeal of it is something that I have been thinking about. I was wondering if I should perhaps draw the portfolio examples as well to keep it with that feel. I don't have any paying experience with any other design other than websites so that is why there isn't anything else up there. I did do a couple of band posters so I guess I could throw those up there and I made some logos too.

dude, this site is trully nifty. couple of usability notes though:
- As already noted, the text is a bit of a struggle to read, use more screen real estate and make it bit larger.
- On your resume section: I almost missed the drop down list, which means I almost missed learning about your full range of skills. I think you either have to take it out of the shadows or bevel it a bit so that it can be more of an explicitly traditional nav element....

I'll be making my changes tonight and post the revised site tomorrow am.
thanks for everyone's help!
