New Portfolio Design - WIP - Opinions?

Hey guys! This is my working version of my new portfolio site - The main page. It's a really basic design that will stay out of the users way while letting the work stand out.

Please view the full version before offering critiques...

The list of projects will obviously be longer than 2...

I need all your opinions (good or bad) - What do you think of it? Any critiques are greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
