Arriving as planned, the brand new business cards I designed and had printed at Moo.com came just as my portfolio site @ fandrix.com went live last week. I opted to keep the look simple, using the infamous image I shot of downtown rooftops in my hometown of Medicine Hat. That image has graced this blog in countless variations and has introduced my various short films since 2007.
I have several friends who have really enjoyed using Moo and I can see why. I think my cards turned out great and the quality is exceptional. They'll make a strong first impression when I hand them out in the coming year as I continue to look for new ways to share my online experiences.
Several months of hard work have gone into designing and redesigning my (what was supposed to be) simple portfolio site. For the time being, I'm happy with the outcome and am proud to announce that my portfolio site, Fandrix.com is now officially live. That's not to say that there won't be some moderate tweaking as we approach the new year, but things are looking good.
The biggest change come this new year will be my ability to hand out promotional business cards to help drive traffic to my sites and showcase my online venues. From the beginning I've focused on creating an easily adaptable layout, which allows me to easily trade out the content or sites I want to feature. I think it will also be a great way of introducing new people to some of my content and highlighting work I'm most proud of. Another personal project (almost) complete!

Surprisingly, this hasn't been all that uncommon over the last few weeks, but this morning was something else. For about two hours there was a continuous rotation of pigeons landing on my windowsill to roost. Some hunkered down for five or ten minutes, some immediately pushed the others out of the way to get a better spot, but I guess my office window was literally the hot spot today.
I was back and forth between the studio this morning and every time I came back I'd snap another picture. It was actually an amazing photo op because the pigeons weren't scared of me at all. I was able to get right up to the glass and take some incredible detail shots of the various birds while they went about their business. In the end it was a pretty entertaining show.
