Basic portfolio. Nothin' fancy, just looking for some valued feedback. Thanks!

Nice,clean, to the point. So you don't want it centered? I don't know.

Great site with some tasty content...
...the only thing i found a little confusing (at first) was the navigation, was more inclined to 'click' to see the photos rather than rollover (which i guess was dictated by download speed). i'd change it to 'click'.
The next and back buttons were a good addition but on first impression i thought that was to navigate within each section rather than between each section...
...the comic guy on the front page was a good illustration but didn't seem to fit the site...
...anyways, i bookmarked it.
Good work.

very nice. altho i'd get rid of the cartoon figure..
and:
the change on rollover was a bit confusing, better on click?

Thanks! The cartoon guy was my addition to fill up the bottom space (before the navigation content fills it). Good point though.
Yeah, BACK and NEXT do seem a little unclear. And I may very well make it onclick.
QUESTION: how do portfolio sites handle preloaders (if at all)?
Surely, when the majority of the content is large (ish) images, what's the deal? Image optimizers... lower the quality?

Looks nice BUT:
1) Don't put the secondary nav at the bottom. I missed it the first couple of clicks.
2) I'd prefer onClick rather than a rollover.
3) Something needs to happen when you click on a menu option, otherwise a visitor can't tell that there are new options available. Suggestions: a new header, a new image, a new bg color, etc.
4) Javascript rollovers for image changing BLOWS. Sorry but it does. It's spotty on Firebird (Mozilla) and isn't that intuitive, especially as an accessibility option...

Do you mean JavaScript rollovers in general BLOWS or specifically mine?! I'll probably make 'em onclick... seems more intuative.
Anyway, all good points. Me thinks I'm going back to the drawing board.
