I have been working lately… and have proof. Besides the indentation in my office chair [insert Steelcase shout-out here], I have some ‘artifacts’ worth sharing. Here are a few of the websites I’ve worked on that have recently gone live.

The band is “Simple Kid” (http://www.simplekid.com/). I don’t know that much about them/him but from what I have read, people compare him to Beck. I might add to the comparison as I hear some Dandy Warhols here and there. This track is off of his album “2″ that was released mid last year. The rest of the album is even more rhythm heavy than this track and therefore. I was worried about putting up the tracks that I like the most as I am afraid of getting in trouble for offering all of these band’s tracks for free. This track, ‘Seratonin’, was already offered in promotion for his appearance at 2007 SXSW at http://audio.sxsw.com/2007/mp3/Simple_Kid-Seratonin.mp3. So I am not to blame for piracy.

Also, interesting story in São Paulo Brazil:

“The Brazilian metropolis of São Paulo banned all outdoor advertising in January. The city’s populist, right-wing mayor, Gilberto Kassab was fed up with what he felt was “visual polution.”

All forms of outdoor advertising were affected, and with the threat of high fines, the ads came down quickly. So the city is now littered with empty billboard frames and marquees ”

It’s fascinating to see… nothing.

This is what I came up with after an hour or so of work. Let me know what you think. I really like the organic feel of it, yet it stays clean. Also it had to be extremely different from all other band posters that I have seen.
