Whoops. I guess a month has gone by since my last blog update. Sorry about that. Lest you think I'm lazy the reason for my late update is actually that I've been very very busy. I was gathering my first years company taxes (I have never cared so much about sensible labeling in my life), attending Hot Docs 2004, filming another Rentz doc interview and finishing a business web site for a client. Oh, I also ran a marathon. Okay I'm lying about that last one.

First of all, I know I said I would write and post reviews for all the films I saw at Hot Docs. I will still do this. Yes sir. As soon as "spare time" that I have not already allocated to going out or playing nerdy video games presents itself. That is to say, reviews are coming but I need more time.

Secondly, the interview we filmed for the Rentz documentary went very well. We spoke to Mr. Madaule - a folk art collector who bought many Rentz pieces when they first went on the market. Mr. Madaule's home was very beautiful and he was very gracious about letting us film his collection. His camera demeanor was also spot-on. He really enjoyed talking about Rentz and was a natural when it came to projecting enthusiasm about the subject. I still have to put the footage into the computer but the bits I have seen look good. The next interview - with a supreme court judge / folk art collector - is scheduled for next Tuesday.

Go ahead and give www.monkeybusinesscreative.com a click. This is the web site I designed for a client and finished recently. The site is for a children's musician and educator. We wanted something kid friendly but also functional for adults so the client could easily sell his CDs and give info on his professional services. I created all the original graphics you see in the borders and menu bar, and incorporated the client's CD artwork into the large images. All in all (commence patting on the back) I'm really happy with the way everything turned out and especially happy that my client loves the new site as well. Way to go, me!

Way to go me indeed. New updates will be more frequent and coming soon. Now go outside and enjoy the sunshine!
