Good luck galleryseek! This should keep you busy!
One thing..."the only thing is, is you can't be picky about it. if i design it and for some odd reason you dislike it, i'll offer up the design to someone else..."
"Some odd reason?" Whether a client is paying you or you're doing it pro bono for the exposure, it's still your client. They have every right to be picky...it's THEIR site you're designing, not yours.
In this business you have to bend over backwards to make the client happy if you want to stay in business. I just redid historykill.com and let me tell you this...I had the site "finished" in about a half day. Then the client wanted another color-scheme...then they picked, tweaked, modified, altered, changed, twisted, rolled, crumpled up, spit out, slept on it and then finally LOVED the very first version I handed them on the first day...with the simple addition of the "download" button in the nav bar. Total time involved - 11 days! Now, it was a simple modification that took me a half hour then wait until the end of the day for approval/changes (allowing me to stay busy on my other projects). But all the while it was, "yes sir," "you bet," "absolutely!" "Whatever you want, you've got it!" etc., etc., etc.
Bottom line...they massively OVERPAID me in the end, had me do their cash site, historykillcash.com (not yet released), another site, a spin-off of historykill called hkpopupkiller.com (not yet released), I am in the middle of their corporate site (I just delivered them a second version last night) and after that I have one more to do for them.
A scenario like that doesn't happen if you have an attitude of "take it or leave it."
Just trying to help, but I am sure you'll do great!
