Back in 2007, David Bowie’s manager reached out to us to do some work for several other artists he was managing. One of those artists is Rodney Crowell, who has worked with everyone from Johnny Cash to Emmy Lou Harris to Nora Jones. We provided a fresh new site design to coincide with an album he was releasing at the time. Here we are, six years later, and Rodney is topping the Billboard Country charts with his new album. Of course with a new album comes a new website, and we are happy to be working with Rodney once more! Check out the new site at www.rodneycrowell.com.
Ninety Summers Later – New Art Work By Kayt Hester
Renowned Jersey City Artist Returns With Her Latest Groundbreaking Solo Show
Jersey City, NJ, July 29, 2014 – Kayt Hester returns with her fourth solo show at Jersey City’s LITM: “Ninety Summers Later” features portraits of the decadent models, actresses and showgirls of the 1920s. Her striking black and white compositions are accented with subtle hints and bold splashes of color, all created in Hester’s signature medium: hand-torn masking tape.
When asked about her inspiration for the show, Hester replied, “I was captivated by the glamour and decadence of the early 1920’s as evident in the flappers and showgirls of the period. The pinup girls, the gangsters and Prohibition really all set the scene for what I wanted to bring to my show.”
“Ninety Summers Later” will debut on Tuesday, August 5th, 2014 from 7pm until closing at LITM, and will run until the end of August. LITM is located at 142 Jersey Avenue in Downtown Jersey City. A percentage of proceeds from this show will benefit the Hudson County Animal League, The Companion Animal Trust, and The Fussy Friends Cat Adoptions.

Shipping Summer 2014
Exciting news! After many years of working with the Pixies, I am working on a brand new project with them. Called PIXIES: A Visual History, this 2-volume hardcover will span the complete history of the band, from the 80’s to present day. To get the project funded, I am turning to Kickstarter to release the limited edition of the books, but if all goes well there will be a trade edition released sometime next year. My good friend and long time collaborator, Aaron Tanner of Melodic Virtue, is providing the design.
We are proud to announce that we have been working on revising and refreshing East Island Aviation’s site at www.eiaviation.com! We have a great history of working with East Island, providing IT Solutions and Web Design & Development needs to them and their clients and associates. This new site adds a new level of functionality, some speed enhancements, and greater control and usability. The new site will be fully launched in March of 2013.

Music collaboration between Joey Santiago of the Pixies, and his wife Linda. This is an oldy but goody, developed with Ray Dolber and VP Holleran. For 2004, this site was great. Custom coded with a proprietary CMS tool. Flash-animated background image (the scene from daytime to nighttime, and the sign eventually lights up.).
Work Song Incorporated
Another project with long-time collaborator Aaron Tanner, Work Song, Inc. is musician and producer Joe Henry’s record label. Joe’s worked with an amazing and diverse group of musicians, and we highly recommend all of his projects. Custom coded with a proprietary CMS tool.
East Island Aviation Services
Another project I partnered with Aaron Tanner on. This site is for an Aviation construction company located in Long Island, NY. Custom coded with a proprietary CMS tool.
Surfer Rosa – The Official PIXIES Message Board
One of the best things about the Pixies website, and what brought quite a bit of traffic to the site, was the message board. When we launched the new site, we did not have an easy solution to add the board back to the site, so the answer was to just create a new site for the message board. I registered surferrosa.com back in 2003, and didn’t do anything with it, so it seemed fitting to use it for this. Built on the Invision Power Board platform.
