Simple, straightforward, yet unique

This young man is cited in Print's April/2009 "Rising Stars" issue (I've been trying to get a sense of what the new designers want to do with their own sites). He is a design illustrator rather than a designer in the commercial/graphic art sense. The way he lets his portfolio links run on as a paragraph at the top (with neon pink rollovers) is something I hadn't seen done before...as well as the fact that all of his links just go to a point further down on the page rather into another gallery. Yep, one html file, and you can essentially control your own slide show of his stuff by just hitting the "next" button. This appeals to me as the "shortest distance between two points", and also because it seems unique. The dramatic black background annoyed me at first but after looking through his work I decided it was really a good fit for his style. Good doesn't have to be complicated.
