Currently Active Sites
Client: Roy Zimmerman
URL: http://www.royzimmerman.com/
Notes:
A brilliant songwriter and political satirist, Roy is considered by many to be a latter-day Tom Lehrer (Lehrer himself included). His witty and musically accomplished songs are perrenial favorites with fans of the Dr. Demento radio show, and his videos have garnered considerable attention on YouTube.com. The site incorporates e-commerce, a flash-based mp3 player, and a bulletin board system.

Client: The Foremen
URL: http://foremen.royzimmerman.com/
Notes:
Roy Zimmerman's group The Foremen released two albums with Warner/Reprise Records in the 1990s, and have a considerable cult-following to this day.

I have many currently active Web sites for other clients, but as my primary contribution to them is ongoing maintenance and updating, with only minor design contibutions, I do not include them in my portfolio.
Archived Sites
These are sites that are no longer online, and proposed designs that, for one reason or another, never went live, but represent some of my better work.

Notes:
The Fox and the Raven Productions encompasses the musical works of husband and wife team Mario Salas-Lanz and Nattacha Amador, both brilliant musicians and actors with extensive stage and screen credits. The site was never completed, due to various complications, but I consider Mario and Nattacha's sub-sites some of my best work.
