The third image in the metal sculpture gallery reminded me a bit of steampunk. Awesome site, man!

Very nice indeed! I like the colours and I really like your metal work. You should make a Death Star :D

The site needs just a bit of information architecture. Consider adding the navigation to all pages. Also, the "O" for the home page link is not obvious. Consider adding "Home" under it (like in the rollover state), or just add it to the navigation. Add "title" tags to every page. This will help the search engines index your pages better.

I also recommend you make a "Purchase" page so you can sell your work!

Hope that helps :)

Thanks, very helpful. I kinda bungled my way through getting this thing up, fighting every step of the way. What's the code to add a title tag, or is there a tab in Dream weaver to do that?

I like to sell my metal work in person, it's more of a side hobby that i do shows in the summer for. figure if someone really wants it they will email me, perhaps "available" or "sold" tag to each image?

Thanks for the comments, always appreciate everyones input, big help :)

Nice work.  I really enjoy looking through the concept are in video games and movies.  I have to say that yours is as good or better then any I have seen.  Have you looked into the huge Will Vinton studio going up in Tualatin?  If its still happening with the economy, I'm not sure.

Will Vinton was actually the resident artist where i went to school. Haven't heard about a new studio of his though, interesting.
