Hi,

Here are a few;

Cargo collective is a nice one.

There are some nice tumblr themes that can serve as portfolio pages.

For the less customiazable sort, there's;
Dripbook, Behance Network.

Society6 is a really nicely designed site, you can post pictures in a blog style, and you can also sell your work as prints.

Illustration Mundo doesn't allow you to create much of a customizable profile, but has news features and links to your website. It is a popular one, you have to apply for a profile and your website/work is selected by the editors before inclusion. But as the name suggests, obviously more focused on illustration, and more as a means to bring traffic to your main site.

You could definitely get something like that with the Cargo or Tumblr themes.

Cargo examples;

Tumblr;
http://fullbloom.tumblr.com/
my own tumblr is a similar style, uses one of these themes.

Your best bet is to find a site you like and see what sort of theme it uses (if it says anywhere on the page) or just google "cargo collective themes" or "tumblr themes" and have a browse. Some times they're paid themes, or self-designed, but you can usually find nice free ones.

Actually, i just checked the html source of the link you mentioned and his site is also run on cargo collective. i can't see what theme it is though, it might be his own design.

but yeah, i use both sites and they're pretty equal in terms of usability. There
are more networking features on the Tumblr ones (reblogging and like buttons), but CargoCollective tends to look and run a bit sleeker and i think would generally be seen as a little more professional as a portfolio.
