I don't understand why boredom makes you wish that cloning was possible ... but thats probably just me.
I like the site, nice and simple, not a huge fan of the background colour, adds too much contrast to the photos for my liking.
on the whole good stuff

using the frame is MUCH better than the pop-ups you had before...imho you should combine the "experiments," "illustration," and "sketches" sections into one section called "illustration"
i think you can eliminate the "you must have 1024..." statement b/c people with lower resolutions can scroll, so it isn't unuseable...
big improvement

i forgot before, make your email address into a mailto: link...saves a copy & paste step

the L photo still makes me crave for summer..
better navigation now!
- chimchim0
photos - sculpture are very nice.
previous next buttons are a BIG step forward! good.
not interested in clicking a million tiny hit spots for your photos. I think clicking color or bw and then just using the prev next nav will be best.
keep it up
- BonSeff0
the nav is real boring
but thats ok cause you really seem to enjoy your work, which i dig. + i can click right through everything.
nice nice

what I mean..and other people are saying...consolidate!
- chimchim0
give us the resumé as well
- warheros0
a resume? pdf?
thank you SO MUCH for your comments, i think i will consolidate some of that stuff. like the illustartion/sketches/experiment...
anymore comments?
- chimchim0
anything for resumé...it's good to have both html text and pdf download.
where you attend design school, what companies you have worked / intern / co-op for...etc.
skills...objectives..bla bla..standard stuff

if you dont do anything else...take the 'I am a student' line off of there. Let the fuckers who view the site figure that shit out..it gives me the feeling that you are appologizing for your work before I can even view it...and then it sits there mocking me while I look at your stuff...know what I mean?
86 that shit man!

and I learn something new:)
- warheros0
that is an interesting perspective...i only intended the "i am a student." to mean that since i AM a student, the site is very simple.
but now that i hear that point of view, i am wanting to remove it.
- chimchim0
student and simple don't have a definitive relationship.
- warheros0
i guess they do to me because i dont have a lot of time to do this site...
hmmm...
any ideas to convey this message? or should i just leave that idea for the viewer to interpret?
- iDp0
don't make excuses for anything just because you are currently a student. one day you will be a visual powerhouse..so start getting used to those shoes now suckah.
;)
- iDp0
leave it alone, don't even try to convey that message, it will undoubtedly come off as cheap and insecure...you don't need to explain anything to anyone. Stand tall.
- chimchim0
true.
a simple welcome could be used..or just put that info in the resume..and they will either see it or not.
but don't make it your "identity"

Have the next button etc in fixed locations, and float the images within a designated area, or even better compose the pages with the images in interesting locations.
Might be better off by using a less saturated color for the background
Your photos seem a little blah at this point. Try to work on the contrast and colors, and some of the compositions could use a recrop, even if you do it in photoshop.

chim chim's got it. Chim nice work man...Your fake 404 almost threw me.
