The only thing that annoys me a bit is the fact that all clickable areas become really small. For instance the page swap under "Work" and the switch between tweets on "Social".
Aesthetically it's top class! (as always)
[Edit] And then the submit button on the contact page. I don't think it fits with the rest. The gradient is very heavy and the blue very strong.
Thank you Mads, especially for the great feedback.
I see your point regarding the clickable areas, though I think, the fact that they are small, also help emphasizing the importance of the content currently being shown - also given the small amount of space available. (Without removing to much of the symbolism).
The button I will definitely look into. I'm thinking that a light-gray button will do the trick, and will have a more subtle and native feel to it.
Only issue I can see is having the logo against the red background - what will happen if the logo itself is red - or a color that doesn't contrast well with red?
Can you explain the usage of those bars representing your 'skill' in each of the given areas, what are they out of, how is this data measured, exactly? How is one skill better than the other, how exactly are they compared?
I think they're a bad idea, I don't understand why people do them.
Thank you all so much for the kind words, i really appreciate it! :)
@Daryl Ginn: The reason for using "progress bars" for skills, is to better compare them. Think of them as a visual presentation of for example: 5/10 - meaning you have a medium skillset in a specific field. Giving the user who sees it a better overview of the persons talent, if they for example want a Illustrator wizard, it is quick for them to decode where the persons strengths is at.
@Niklas Mathiesen I'm aware of what they are and what they represent, I just think they're bad. What's to say your judgement of 9/10 is the same as someone else's. Everything about them is inaccurate.
@Daryl Ginn: I see your point, but then you could argue that every single measurement of skill is relative and unnecessary... My definition of an expert is probably different from yours, and from a whole third persons. So all use of describing just "how good you are" can in that sense be argued redundant. But I still think that a lot of people want a some sort of info/overview regarding a persons skillset, of course backed up by a portfolio that reflects it.
EDIT: Also, if the person see the need for further explanation, they can write beneath the bar. Explaining their strengths and weaknesses.

Take a look at this: http://forrst.com/posts/So_you_want_to_display_your_skill_level-wRo then you may understand what I mean.
I think your design overall is good, however I do not agree with the stats as they're meaningless.
