Blog Progress Report
September 28, 2007 - By Bobby Solomon - Category: Life
I just wanted to write a happy little note about my blog because today was a pretty good day. This month was really great, with my total number of visitors actually doubling in size. It’s nice to see that people really like the things I post about, even though my blog would still be around no matter what.
And I like to go out and take pictures at events and art shows, and sometimes people ask me what I’m taking the pictures for? So I decided to get myself some business cards! I was so excited when they came! They’re actually half cards, because honestly, I don’t need a full sized business card, I’m a simple guy, and hell, it helps the environment a little, right? The part with my info has a tiny plus pattern, just like the blog, and the back has the wood grain. I’m obsessed with the details.
I also posted a picture of my first filled in page of Field Notes. I’ve been using to keep track of my blog ideas, and it’s been working really well so far. I jam it into my back pocket with my wallet every morning, and sure enough it’s still doing pretty damn well!
That’s about it. I hope everyone is enjoying the blog still. I just want to say thanks to Tony, Michael, FW, and Jean, you guys are a big help, even if you don’t know it. And extra special thanks to Jeff and my mom, for being my biggest fans!

This operation here is one of the most relevant culture blogs out there. Keep up the amazing work.
I’ve been lovin’ on this blog since you started that Radiohead wallpaper project forever ago. You’ve come a long way… loving your design choices throughout every little mix/format change especially recently. Thanks for all you do man. foxes forevs.
your new layout looks fucking great man. very impressed. Big improvement from the last one
I was getting a bit worried about the color combos occurring on the previous version. I love this new look!!! Keep up the good work!
Bravo Bobby ! I like your blog that I follow since two years or something … you helped me to understand this crazy L.A. town where I live now, and thanks for your musical choices ! a French fan
Thank you to Natalie (from France). Thanks to her I discovered your site, and today I am very proud to post my first comment.
Gracias Bobby. Your Blog is a inspiration for every day, full of fresh ideas, Saludos desde México.
congratulations Bobby. I love the new business cards. They’re great and so you! The field notes book looks rad too. Might want to take a page, blow it up huge and frame it.
I just love your blog, and I’m going to post some of your designs on my blog (which no one reads so far), to let french people know about your great work :)
I love your blog! I visit frequently. Keep up the good work!! :)
cheers! -julie
Da fragt man sich beim groben Lesen von thefoxisblack.com ja schon, ob man nicht komplett auf den Kopf gefallen war. Danke für eure Erläuterungen
Way to go! I visit frequently to see what you got goin on and will continue to love it! onward and upward!
cheers! -julie
Well I just happened to find your blog and think it is stellar! Congrats on the new business cards. They look great! Curious how you did your wood grain effect? Is that done with a spot UV?
I hope the Fox is Black store/giftshop is still in the works!
Deixo aqui o meu trabalho ha disposição de voces
Grande abraço

Skip the Field Notes book, and use your iPhone ;-)
I know once a while back you said you were getting a little tired of the desktop wallpaper project and I feared it was the end of it. Your blog post today reminded me of something… the wallpaper project could be your best source of publicity. I work at a design firm with 120+ people and they are constantly stopping by my desk to tell me I have ‘the coolest wallpapers’. I’m almost tired of repeating “its the desktop wallpaper project. its so awesome. I’ll send you the link.” I’m just saying, keep it up. ;)
