Well, you can chek it out at www-portfolio-grillo-tk (sorry, I don't have 15 posts so I cannot post complete urls here), tell me what your thoughts are!

TIA

I'm liking that, I think the top text bit really lets the rest down.

I don't understand it so whether its just random words or not its not very good for SEO having it as an image.

Apart from that I really like it, good job.

Thanks for the comment.

I'll be updating the header to be text very soon, so it will have an easy way to be both in portuguese and english just by swapping the div.

Hey. I need to get some posting done myself.

I like the design you've got going there, grillo.

The blue rays/streaks/whatever you wanna call them, are very dramatic, maybe a bit too dramatic. I find myself looking toward them more than your content a lot of the time.

The "M" you use for your logo, I keep feeling it looks very familiar. Though ace, is maybe a bit too similar to Motorhead.

Last thing, your phone number is on your background image, but not on your foreground image, incase you forgot to add/remove it.

All in all, an impressive portfolio site, my friend.

Looks good, like the background and the transparent border around the different sections. Is the skyline anywhere in particular?

also just to add to that, get yourself some web hosting and a proper domain name.

I get the same feeling as you from the background, to be more precise you voiced something that I got feeling but couldn't express in words, and I thought is because I was looking at it for too much time.

About the "m" it the same design as a tattoo I have, made with that font because of my father german blood, so I think I'm stuck with that ...

Thanks about the phone number ... I forgot to erase it from the background.

It's the view from the top of the building I live, in Curitiba, Brazil

Hmm well grillo.tk has been my domain for sometime now (3 years), and mostly everybody I've worked know me because of the weird .tk at the end I own another domain ( palozo.com ) which I can make a grillo.palozo.com to point to my portfolio ...
