Journal

What I’ve been doing recently, a blog, a scrapbook, and a place to show what I am currently listening to and watching. It’s also a bit of playground to grab data from a few services I like.

Writing

I try my best to write down a few thoughts each year, but I won’t hold myself too accountable.

Scrapbook

This is the last 30 images that have caught my eye. I collect them using Savee, a Pinterest alternative.

I’m having a sale on prints until the end of the month! These are signed 11x14” archival gicleé prints that are ready for framing. $50 plus shipping. If you’re interested in prints of other images I’ve made just let me know. DM me or email nick@nickfancher.com to order. Source
