kankatee.com Launches Their NEW T-shirt Design Community

About kankatee.com: "The Kankatee reason for living is simple: Provide designers a venue to create at will and offer it up to the people to vote on. On top of that, the goal is to support these designers -- these brave Uploaders -- and to empower the public to do the same.

Kankatee hit the web on 11/11/2006 at 11am during the Big Bang of mass creative participation in the web. By this time, online listening, viewing and downloading were the passé mainstream. Even your Grandma could use iTunes. Kankatee was born during the prime time for uploading; sharing your persona; posting the song you wrote; streaming that video where you do that genius (stupid?) dance with the sparklers. This site was launched so some damn good designers could make a Bang as loud as any other out there, if not louder -- which is still the grand design."

 Premier winning design by Bess is pictured above.

TALLEY FOTO - Stephen Talley Photography

Stephen Talley Photography (Talley Foto) is a client of mine. I designed and developed their web site. I met Stephen and his staff during an all day photoshoot in which Chloe was hired for American Girl Magazine. Stephen, J and the rest of the staff are incredibly nice, unilke other photography studios I've dealt with in the past.

Stephen has an incredible sense for good, natural looking lighting and he was a way with people that puts them at ease. This usually results in a great shot. Check out his work at the Talley Foto web site.
