One of my all time favorite female singer-songwriters, Kate Fenner, has a relatively recent website redesign that uses a mesmerizing array of flash images on a white background. The images, which look like color sketch work, are striking and somewhat hypnotic. There are also four tracks to listen to, including a tribute to the now defunct Rheostatics. Anyway, check it out, and if you do not have her first album, go grab a copy.
Oh, and for those who think the name sounds familiar but just can't place it, Kate Fenner was formerly with the Bourbon Tabernacle Choir and even more recently a duo act with her musical partner Chris Brown. The two penned and performed the widely acclaimed "resist war" track, one of the better contemporary protest songs.
Now if only we could get one or both of them to visit Seattle. Hmm.

What strikes you as striking and hypnotic about the images is that they are proper animation: sketchy and fluid. They are drawn as if on an old-fashioned light table, with pencils. That art is increasingly lost in the maze of pointless angular and polished images which the multinational industry churns out as a sea of bubble.
