A work-in-progress: The site that won’t see the light of day
Back in September of 2003, I was contacted by South Florida’s Gods And Monsters. The guys were a young up and coming band and upon a recommendation from Universal Records sought out myself to design and develop their new site. Since September, I had developed a great working relationship with the band’s lead singer, Joshua Reed, and we proceeded to build the band’s site piece by piece. I was very proud of where the site was heading and we were all looking at a February 1, 2004 release. Today I received contact from Joshua who informed me that the band would be calling it a day. The site would, obviously, not be going ahead. It felt like I had just been kicked in the guts. I was bitterly disappointed as there had been hours and hours poured into this project. I wasn’t disappointed in the financial loss of this project - even tho the band had paid us for the work we had done so far - but I was most disappointed that this site won’t ever be completed. The entire site was being constructed in Flash - and featured some wonderful animations of various ‘insects’ and ‘beetles’ scurrying around the design at certain moments. The site was developing into something very atmospheric and I was very confident it would have been a wonderful site.
I AM THE KEYBOARD PLAYER OF WHAT USED TO BE GODS AND MONSTERS. FIRST OFF I WOULD LIKE TO FORGIVE MY FORMER LEAD SINGER (ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO) OF WHAT HE HAS DONE TO YOU. JOSH HAS DONE THE SAME THING TO MOST OF THE PREVIOUS CONTACTS WE HAVE HAD IN THE PAST. BUT I AM LOOKING FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO DEIGN MY NEW BANDS WEBSITE AND ALONG WITH MY CLOTHING COMPANY. I ASSURE YOU IAM NOTHING LIKE MY EX-SINGER. HIS ACTIONS IS THE REASON I LEFT THE BAND. I WOULD DEFFINATELLY LIKE TO WORK WITH YOU. ANY FUTURE PROJECTS WOULD BE THE SAME. I AM ALSO LOOKING FOR A GOOD GRAPHIC ARTIS TO HELP IN THE DESIGNS OF OUR CLOTHING. ALONG WITH THAT MY FUTURE MUSIC PROJECT WILL NEED HELP ON THE WEBSIT ALSO, MY CLOTHING WEBSITE WOULD NEED FUTURE DEVOLOPMENT ALSO. BOTH OF MY PROJECTS I WOULD LIKE YOU TO DO THE WORK ON. AGAIN I WOULD LIKE TO FORGIVE MY FORMER LEAD SINGER FOR HIS ACTIONS., BUT I CAN ASSURE YOU I AM NOTHING LIKE HIM.

Hi Shaun,
Although it was disappointing not to have completed work on this incarnation of the Gods & Monsters website of 2003, I haven’t had any problems with Josh at all. He has always been honest about stuff and always paid me on time.
Still, if you would like for me to do some work for you, please email me and we can discuss what is needed.
Take care dude!
