Congratulations on getting the site up!

Although I agree that the standard twenty-ten theme layout is a bit spartan, I disagree that Wordpress is simply a "blogging tool". Blogging is certainly it's most common use, but as a content engine it can support any type of site imaginable. I have seen a number of artists create some truly amazing gallery sites with it. I think you will find that it will make an excellent portfolio site.

As gameprinter mentioned, there are various sites that offer inexpensive (and often times free) wordpress templates, as well as tons of plugins downloadable from the WP site.

I love your work and I'm glad to see you have a place to display it. I also like the name; I'm glad it was available.
