nice
i'd loose the popup though, its not really needed

some tight work alexis, i really like the product shots in the photography section, wish i could see a mural of all the photos though
- alexis0
funny you should say that, because they were originally in mural form on a tall wall.. i only wish i took a photo of them when they were set up like that.
and yeah function you're right about the popup...not sure why i decided that was needed. =P habit i guess.

like the feel of the presentation.
the kerning is off in the 'about' section. (mac, firefox)
could be my screen but the logo could use more contrast w/ the bkg it's on.

I really dig your site, but I wish for 3 things:
1- Bigger. I can't see any of the detail in your work.
2- Context for your graphics work. If it's a CD cover, take a picture of the actual CD cover. Or if it's a poster, same thing. Give your work some context, an environment to exist in.
3- Especially for the photography section, but all sections should have some indication of how many pieces you're scrolling through. And Some indication when they're done. i.e. the last picture should not have a next button that doesn't work.
All in all, I dig your site. It has a great atmosphere.
It's also a pet peeve of mine when a designer refers to themselves as "we" to make it seem like they're running an actual design studio. If it's just you, say "I" No shame in freelancing.

do you mean the kerning in the text body or the heading? The heading is hand written so this might be why it appears that way. Good to know the contrast is different on mac.. i figured it would be. Wish i had both types of computers..poo.

thanks, all good points.. i'll get back to work when i take a breather... i've spent way too much time on it this week! lol

no, luv the hand written copy.
the actual text in the pixel font i mean, could be the way it's set in flash?
- alexis0
probably is flash.. sometimes text gets really messed up in it..grr
