Some really nice assets you have there sampson and it seems you know what to display too, I'm sure it won't be many years before you get a fantastic job in the industry. I just wish I could concentrate like you when I was 15!

I've always liked the single page layouts myself, i think in that case tho, you need all of your images to each have the same width, or it looks funky.
ya EQ - if the majority of responses is "SINGLE PAGE!!" i'll do that - its just because i made the single page quite quickly i didnt really bother making it the same.
Yes I think one page is best too. I looked through all your stuff and at full size on the single page portfolio, there is no choice but to view stuff that way. But for the thumbnail pages I only clicked into the ones I felt like seeing.... This is a very important difference I believe. I think you will get the most people viewing your stuff at full rez from the single page format.
One thing I kind of assumed when I put up an online portfolio is that people who visit will look at each piece in full rez. This was a naieve assumption tho. As I viewed my blog-stats overtime I found not one person viewed every piece. Obviously my art doesnt scream look at every pixel, but I kinda thought at least one person would view all my pieces since I do this myself when I go to a new artists site.
If I switch to single page I can guarentee that the viewers eyes will at least graze over each piece in full resolution so long as they reach the end of the single page.
