A very beautiful layout indeed, I search through Boris Vallejo’s site myself to see what you began with and I’m a little confused as to how you go the image, or if it’s legal (If you haven’t asked for the artist’s permission, I suggest you do.)
The layout is, a little bland and might be too red for some people, but it suits the image nicely and the soft red cloud-like effect you have in the back of the content area is a very nice touch. Personally I liked the last layout more (although the scrollbar in the middle of the page stood out) but this layout is almost as good.
Your review has taken me awhile to get started on. Not because I haven’t had the time but because you have so MUCH content. I began reading your content when your last layout was up and I’ve just sifted through enough now that I feel that I truely know your site. On shear quantity alone your beating out almost all the people I’ve ever reviewed. That’s definatly something to be proud of.
I found neither gramatical nor spelling errors that stood out and your presence as a webmaster is to be commended. Unlike some websites your voice suits what you have chosen to let the net know about you. Also, this voice is present throughout all of your content. It’s very consistent and it’s very easy to read through large amounts of your content at once because of it.

Of course there was a few peices that I did not enjoy reading, IE the dreams and almost all of the conversations littered around your site. Still I understand that I probabaly would like these if I knew you so they have their place too.
I validated your CSS and there was only one.. “kinda” error. It’s not nessisary, but you should use sans-serif as your last alternative font because it’s generic.
