Get rid of the first 2 splash pages and make http://www.eightfloorsabove.com/… your homepage.

I agree with lind.
I like simplicity but the first two pages are a little too clean.
I also (personally) don't like the really big text on the portfolio page right above the actual work.

to much clickety click to get to the content, clients don't like that. (i know from experience).
Also what's about all the new windows?
i had 3 windows open of your site before i saw a sample of your work.
the work is good and the layout is ok as well, altho make sure you put your work in a more accessible place, i had to scroll down a lot too, not sure if that's a good idea.

i'd prefer to see your work within 2-3 clicks, too many windows opening also, keep it up.

way too many clicks for me...
if it's your portfolio site it's obvious people are coming to it to try and view you work. why make them click an extra 3 times to prove it?
the interface/text is too big and clunky, at least for my tastes. i'd suggest getting rid of the large text, putting the portfolio items in a frame at the bottom of the page, and put your work in a frameset and avoid opening a new window. pretty seamless...
really nice work inside your portfolio though. great print pieces!

i dont like the cursor not changing when im over links, i cant tell what's a link and what's not.
i agree with the text order, should be smaller or something, or not there. and get rid of the maze i have to go through to see your work. nice layout though for the navigation of the work, the colors are very nice. fonts are good too.
your work is excellent!

i agree with the weird clicking and stuff, a bit annoying, but the good news is, your work is the fuckin bollocks.

very nice, but 2 many wins..

nice work...
however, the over-clicking i had to do became tedious, try to figure out a way to help the viewer click less. i also had to scroll up and down on some pages, that,on top of the clicking got annoying.
but otherwise, nice work.

I agree with everyone above about the clicks and windows, but some other things I noticed:
Bad: Your headline text in each portfolio piece is over-aliased for web purposes.
Good/Bad: The images of your work take up a good-sized chunk of the screen, which is great. But I wanted to see some detail, especially on your posters.
Good: I actually like the oversized type on your site. It's definitely different from the majority of portfolios out there. I think if you got rid of the extraneous windows and bad click-through, you'll be fine.
Great print work, btw!

Dippy had the best advise, I lalso like that your page looks different than the norm. I'd like to see closeups
