Kate's Latest Penguin Art
Kate Garchinsky’s design, illustration, and art works are front and center in her reorganization and visual redesign of her long-standing PenguinArt.com. With a look and feel from Kate’s drafting table atop a WordPress core and custom theme and plugin development by Utopian.net, the site presents work archives and personal projects, along with notes, tales, and updates on Kate’s blog.
VonGlitschka.com - Glitschka Studios/Utopian.net 2009
Von Glitschka raises the curtain over his Glitschka Studios site today, with a new design, new hosting, and a new platform for managing updates, edits, and uploads of Von’s latest exuberant and distinctive work. Renovated in collaboration with Utopian.net’s Brianna Privett, vonglitschka.com uses the open-source WordPress content engine with a Leitmotif custom theme. The new site will keep clients in the know about goings-on at the Studios, while minimizing maintenance to keep Von and Co. doing what they do best: creating inventive Illustrative Design for ad agencies, design firms, and corporate art departments.
With a darling design up top, and WordPress/eShop integration by Utopian.net under the hood, Kelly Rae Roberts takes her completely renovated site and new store online. Stop in and check out Kelly’s personality, passions, products, and unique perspective.

Jordan Hull is a young performer with an unexpected Americana blues panache. (But if you hear a surfy-sounding thump or two on his debut record, don’t get confused.)
Utopian.net developed a site concept based on Jordan’s show postcards, provided the programming and hosting, and implemented WordPress for easy updates of new tour dates, photos, and new sounds. Jordan’s new site launched over the weekend along with his new CD. Go have a listen!
Over the last few months, we’ve consolidated at Utopian.net Labs the experimental or open-source scripts and software we work on. Brianna’s punbb -> bbpress converter script, for example, has moved into our labs/wordpress project, along with the themes and plugins we’ve created or modified for the WordPress software.
Utopian.net Leitmotif provides complete WordPress themes matching the detailed designs of the artists we strive to serve. It got an official name and a mini-launch today, which you can see in the differences at the Utopian.net services page, and in the how-to documentation for creating your Leitmotif site design.
We’ve added some more tips and explanations we think will be helpful, especially for new users just getting started with a site hosted at Utopian.net. The biggest changes are at http://utopian.net/doc/web/wp/, for using WordPress to manage your site and your blog; all utopian.net documentation can be found under http://utopian.net/doc/.
