ok, after lurking for many, many years, posting once in a blue moon and finally having enough free time to put together a site with some work on it, i have gotten my site good enough to post. you can be the judge of that -
all feedback welcome!
thanks...

the only real big hangup i see, is that your logo pattern isn't random. it loops.
*slap

nice clean design. good use of space and negative space.
you have some really nice work in your portfolio.
i didn't see anything i didn't like.
also enjoyed how you choose to showcase your work.
nicely done.

overall, I like it. nice work.
I just feel the logo and title text would look better black. the orange doesn't sit well with the menu colors.

I find the landing page a little underwhelming - but once I've appreciated the quality of your work, I can see the value in your low-tech/retro approach. First I have to get past that homepage, though.
Ironic when you're showcasing such impactful poster designs.
(= Good shit, not sure about the homepage.)
Is impactful even a word?

Don't really like the font or the size of your menu or logo... to big and too thin.
You also need to do something about the focus on the menu. When you click on a section you end up with a little grey box around it. onFocus = blur? or something...
Work is nice though..
And I woud clean up your contact form, it's a bit all over the shop.

maybe pre-load your nav item images?
Other than that loved it. Lets the work speak for itself.

you've done some good work, but your type skills both in the work and on the site itself, need improvement...
I think if you made the nav smaller, either same size as your logo type, or preferably smaller and trimmed down the story on the main page it would be more inviting, or just lose it completely. Explaining the rationale of your url, and then explaining a bit about yourself, sorta gives a lot away on the first page. And honestly, it could be a bit more compelling or shorter and wittier...
my 2 cents...

great!! thanks for all the feedback so far, folks!! keep it coming.
and about my writing, yeah - i've never been the best writer, but it's not writing im trying to sell... ;) but thank you for the input, it is definitely appreciated.
can someone explain the onfocus=blur thing to me a bit? i would love to get rid of the grey borders on the nav...
thanks again people!!! much appreciated.

In your href links add this line:
onfocus='blur()'

if you're interested in search engine results then I would change your page title information.

typo:
random pattern decribes my work best.

Ditch the frames I had did not realise I had to scroll right because I saw no scroll bar (Screen res 1280x854). I thought you only had 2 pieces of work

ok fixed the typo (thanks mr. dobolina!!) and also fixed the grey box issue with the onfocus line (thanks neenaw!!).
appreciate the feedback.
oh and neenaw, which platform and browser are you checking out the contact form in? i want to make it as uniform as possible....
THANKS!!
