Looks like a good start! If I might give some pointers:
The gallery page loads really slowly at the moment. I don't know if it's your webhost or the gallery plugin you're using, but if it can be sped up that would probably improve the experience for potential clients.
The cross-fading images on the graphics page are implemented with flash. It's better to use Javascript, so people on mobile devices can view it too. The jQuery Cycle plugin does what you've got on your site with very little configuration needed, it might be a good alternative.
Page width and layout is inconsistent across most pages. The overall experience for your site's visitors (and potential clients) is going to be better if you stick to a particular format across most pages.
If you decide to go with the dark background like on the resumé page, I would advice to add a little more padding, so the text is more free from the edges of the surrounding box.
Your fonts are all the same and all quite bold. You're probably going to be able to make more impact if you decide on a bold title/header/display font. And a more calm, less bold font for body text. A nice guide on how to decide on font combinations can be found here:

If you're feelign inspired, you can also use google webfonts for spiffy royalty-free fonts: http://www.google.com/webfonts
