    It doesn't look bad but it isn't really my cup of tea. :)

    I do like your work. One suggestion though; I think this particular background is competing too much with the rest of the page. It draws your attention away from your work. Try a more subdued background and see what that looks like.

    Ditch the stripes. Or, if you really want to keep stripes, make the two colors much closer together and make the stripes smaller so that they are less noticeable

    doesn't look bad, but it's not great.

    For portfolio sites you want your designs to be the main focus, not your about me. On this layout i'd have put your recent designs on the right of your about me, basicly getting rid of the bottom bit.

    Also, get a hover state in on those links.
    The header text is slightly unreadable (dark on dark).
    The header background is pretty poor, doesn't display any of your talents (it's a pattern...great).
    An actual logo would be nice to see too.

    the header background is not a pattern, the website background is though.

    and everybody, thanks for the advice!!!

    Pretty good design, I like it.
    I think the logo text is too dark against the header BG. I would change that. One other big problem is that your work seems to show up near the bottom of the page. You always want to show off your talents near the top, above the fold. I would add some screenshots in the header. If you do want to have black text in the header, try adding some glow behind it, kind of like this:

    and maybe use flShow to showcase your designs?

    Just some suggestions.
