Description: The development of Davisad. com was a month long project. The design team decided to go with a single page layout, with jquery anchor transitions and a side to side slider. It was my second attempt at an HTML5 website( this site was the first). However I had to sacrifice a lot of the HTML5 goodness for older browsers like IE8 and IE7.

My name is Michael Christopher Kilmer. I was born and raised in Worcester Massachusetts, and still currently reside there. I graduated from the Visual Design program at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth in 2008 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Digital Media. I am currently employed as a Web Developer at Davis Advertising in Worcester, Massachusetts.
My main strengths in developement are: HTML, CSS, Flash, and PHP. I also have experience working with video editing, motion graphics, storyboarding, 3D Modeling, 3D Rigging, and both 3D and 2D animation.
In my spare time I play guitar, video games, skateboard, snowboard, watch films, listen to all different kinds of music, read, attend live shows, draw, animate, record, and hang out with friends. I have a passion for music and the joy of creating something out of nothing and I always try to keep current with the latest software, gadgets, and gizmos.
Ever since I picked up a guitar I have been trying to create music. I have had multiple bands with multiple different styles and sounds. I have learned a lot and am still developing my techniques. The following is a list of the music that I currently record under.
Kilmer is a solo acoustic project that I started recording under in between bands. My very first songs were recorded this way, and some of my very first songs are actually still up for your listening pleasure.

Toys in a Snowstorm is another of my solo projects, this time the style is Post Rock. The songs were created using a music composing program and recording my own live guitars. This is heavily inspired by bands like The Appleseed Cast, Mogwai, Tunturia, and Explosions in the Sky( to name a few ).

Lawn Gnomes is my most recent acoustic project that I started with my friend CJ Molina. We have collaborated on many albums in the past. This is the first time we split the singing duties, which let me focus more on the music.
