Bad News

I apologize for the lack of updates in the past couple weeks. Server bill is due and I don’t have the resources to pay it at the moment. I have been going in circles with a client that owes me quite a bit of money. The money was going to help pay for the server, he has not delivered. So the site has to suffer. I apologize. I am working on getting some sponsors going so we can have a little help here and there. I don’t know how long we’ll be down. I thought I would make a post so those that visit the site are not puzzled as to why the site is gone all of a sudden.

If you’d like to donate you can here. If you’d like to advertise please contact us via the contact form.

Some Updates!

I know I haven’t posted anything in a while. So, here is an update. The portfolio has been updated a little bit. There are new thumbnails in the logo design and web-site design sections. I feel the new thumbnails represent the feel of this site better than the 100 X 75 pixel thumbnails did, it’s more aesthetically pleasing.
The illustration portion will soon be updated with fresh designs and it will receive the new thumbnails as well.

The mp3′s are finally up, you can click on any speaker icon to play the audio. New audio files will be added shortly. I’m working on getting fresh graphics up so it can replace some of the “filler” images I have in place right now. Some design resources will follow soon.

Stay tuned.
