Looks good, the only thing wrong is it took way too long on my 256kbps dsl line to load.

Well, here's one major problem with your site: it's 100% flash. Why that's bad? It takes ages to load, it's bad for SEO, it's bad for any special browsers, it's bad for low-end computers, it's bad for people who can't see well. Or: it's just a bad idea.

If you need to use flash, you should always create an alternative non-flash version of your site.

I agree with the others.
I can't stand Flash web sites and won't even both looking at them (in this case I did to provide a review).

I would nix the "Enter" button. If you have to sit there and wait for it to load, at least have it automatically redirect.

The blurred fade in is giving me a headache. Made me think I needed a stronger prescription until it actually sharpened up!

Portfolio loads quickly and I like how it runs (beautiful work), but you there's no navigation! It completely disappears...It took me a while to figure out I had to click "Close" to get back to where I was.

In the About section, the reflection of the headings isn't done correctly. It looks like you were trying to create that affect but failed.

I think the site was pretty well done. Though, I do have some opinions on the site.

I will agree with TripleMoons in that you don't need the enter button, it really does seem a shame to put it there.
Loading - I don't have dial up, so it loaded pretty fast for me. No complaints there. However, I would suggest not loading all the images at the start, as people have said, the load time is a bore for them. Rather, load the images as the user clicks on it.
You have some great art in there. Is that the largest it can go? Some of them would make cool wallpapers. Possibly have an outgoing link on the image to a new window with the image? (Just an idea)
The reloading as I put it of the "image-menu" can get distracting and annoying if it reloads every second time I visit the main page.
I like how the background slowly changes colour over time, nice little feature that people may not notice but does add to the overall effect.
A question, why do you talk about yourself in third person? I personally would rather see your site in first person, however this is just me.

i think you have done a good job... what you need to do is add a html version also so people who cannot wait can instead go to the html version. I like you work a lot... you can add small animations in the bg to make it lively....
