My name is Ben Parker and I am a freelance artist working in new media. I create logos, digital designs and layout, websites, and videos. This is the place where I write my random thoughts in a very inconsistent manner.

The Thanksgiving Post

November 30th, 2009

Thanksgiving break was a blast. A solid week of no work was just what I needed. Well it wasn’t quite a solid week of no work, but close. I spent Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday working on some projects for Gateway Church in Austin, TX. I did all of their artwork and [...]

The Concert Post

A few months a go I got a call from my good friend Zach and he let me know he had grabbed us tickets to go see Blink 182 on their reunion/we’re back tour. I was stoked, from the day they announced they were back together! I was so excited and wanted to get [...]

Please Pray

August 23rd, 2009

A letter from the Keeners: August 23, 2009 marks twenty months since Jack and Elaine Denney were last known to be alive.

Sometime between then and approximately noon on December 25, [...]

The Main Event

May 11th, 2009

I honestly can’t say how many times I have posted about this site.  In the past it was the home of our (Zach and I) freelance media biz.  It never really amounted to much of anything.  We have doubled back and recharged that effort as Cap City Studios. and if you haven’t checked out [...]

You have GOT to be kidding

December 23rd, 2008

There are a lot of crappy movies that have come out lately. Seriously. God stories are in demand – so if you have one please share it. The rest of the world would be grateful. Don’t get me wrong there are a few movies out there that I want to see. [...]

New Mac Mini?

December 22nd, 2008

UPDATE!!!: It seems Engadget has some evidence to further this mystery. Macenstein is reporting that there will be a new Mac Mini in the wild soon . . . this is a picture that they received from a “tipster” who was “anonymous.” Hype or the real deal? If it’s true then you can sign [...]

December 16th, 2008

Well hello all!  Just wanted to post my latest web endeavor.   It’s a site I did for the Sunday Night service and community at Crosswinds Church in San Francisco, CA.   They were looking to get a site that more prominently featured their podcast, and that was easy to update.  Enter this one page design [...]
