    I think the site could use a little more clarification about what its intent is - what the purpose is - and a background. There is some of this in here but it is scattered. This will allow the site visitor to understand what you are trying to communicate. The work is excellent though.

    Hi Ted,

    Here is some constructive criticism. I hope it is helpful.

    1. The standard of your work is excellent, no question about that. What you need to ask yourself is "What kind of job am I going after?"

    It is clear that you love automobiles so I am guessing that you want to be in this sector.

    Just placing a portfolio online is not going to get you any offers. You need to actively go out and bang on doors (literally) with portfolio in hand.

    have you talked to GM? and Ford? what about their ad agencies?

    Pick a target like Ford for instance and make it a point to research 'exactly who in the organisation would be responsible to ire creative rendering artists. Then be sure to get you work and yourself in front of that person.

    if that person can't hire you, then aask them 'who else might be hiring? They will give you at least 1 name to talk to.

    What about a professional agent to represent your work?

    Also on your site you neglected to fill up0 these.

    THis looks really pathetic to a potential employer. it shows them that you are not really interested in the industry itself but are self obsessed about your own work. Be sure to complete all these details and show that yu are truly knowledgeable and excited about what others in the business are doing.

    Hope some of these are useful.

    Matthew
