Ecdysis: A Dance

June 10, 2010

Ecdysis is the process by which a snake sheds skin—rightfully expressed through dance, music, lights and color. When she was young, innocent and oblivious, the first impression love made on her was a sweet one. And every chapter since leaves it’s own unique, cherished mark on her, at times making her wiser and other times holding her back. What happens at the end will not surprise ... read more

Meet the Fringe Freaks

September 16, 2008 by Ben Hill

All great endeavors require mascots: The Orioles Bird, Uncle Sam, The Keebler Elf (cookie-making counts as a “great endeavor”).

He had been working on some branding ideas, one of which appeared to be a street cor... read more

NOTHING IS COOL

May 17, 2011

Nothing is Cool is based on my experiences playing indie rock in New York City for over ten years. My band “the iOs” was signed to Kanine Records and released the album “In Sunday Songs” in 2006.
