I haven't done any pages in forever, but I'm actually planning on doing at least one multi-page sample soon, just to keep myself honest.
Glad to see you here. (I was gonna suggest you sign on, but I guess you beat me to it!)

I've been mostly posting my stuff on [link] and facebook. I'm working on my blog to go a long with the mini series [link]
I tried conceptart.org , but comicspace worked best for me and the stuff I do.
What are you trying to get into? I sent a friend suggestion on facebook for Stephanie Gladden, she works in the illustration department in Atl. for Cartoon Network. I think she does mostly promo stuff there. My father-in-law works at Turner as a painter (walls not pictures), and got me her e-mail address. She might be a good contact for you.
Also I have a friend Lauren on comicspace, who works as a storyboard revisionist on the Venture Brothers in NYC. She did alot of work on JHZ and is currently doing a web comic with Stephen Lindsay. She might also be a good contact if your looking to get into storyboarding.
Rob Ebbs is a department Chair in Tampa over the animation department, and may be able to get you some contacts in that field as well. He did some storyboards for a polly pocket cartoon, and probably still has some contacts doing that kind of work. I just want to do my comics.
But I figured I help you network, by telling you who I know that might could help you in that field.

I tried to sign onto comicspace, but there've been some problems with the site (it keeps saying "page not listed"). For the past few years I've been pushing a character design/storyboard portfolio, with some conceptual stuff here and there. (I still haven't given up on trying to push our game idea somewhere down the road as well.)
Dude, with where you are now, with your work, you should be coming out to San Diego with us!!

Who all goes with you to San Diego?
I have a friend from High School, whose brother-in-law works for Wizards of the coast has a writer. He started in the R&D department, so basically he was paid to play their games and work the bugs out of them. I need to e-mail her anyway, so I'll see where that goes.
I sent a message to the guy over comicspace. They are having problems with the new user registration. I'll let you know when/if he replys back to me.
