Thanks but it’s still just not working.

<?php $args=array( 

 'post_type' =>     'portfolio',
 'post_status' =>   'publish',
 'posts_per_page'    => 45,
 'caller_get_posts'  =>1,
 'paged' => $paged );
 query_posts($args);

  $args =	array('showposts'=>25, 'category'=>'figurative', 'post_type'=>'portfolio');
$query = new WP_Query($args);

 while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

I was reading up on WP Query and those ‘tax_query’ taxonomy things feeling like it’s
the right course given everything else failing.

Thanks Andrew Nevins.
