Welcome to BALKIndustries!
Hi everyone and welcome to the revamped BALKIndustries website. It's been a few years since a new look has been launched, and it was a few years before that since the release before that. With keeping up with latest internet trends, this new site should be a bit more user friendly and updated more often - to keep things fresh.
Over the years, I've had a lot of people ask me,
- "What is BALKIndustries?"
- "What does BALKIndustries do?"
- "How long have you had your own company?"
- "How do you get your hair to look that good?"
The story begins in the late 1970s/early 1980s, when my sister and I had fun making our own greeting cards and placing on the lower back, "BALKMARK" (a 'pun' on Hallmark). Late 1990s, I began doing more with computer graphics and making a bit more sophisticated work and launched, "BALKDesign." I had no intention on starting my own business, however when owning a domain name became doable and I wanted to launch my own email address - I didn't really think cbalk@balkdesign.com would fly. I also thought about, "What if I had started my own company?" or "What if there is more that I'd like to do other than cheesy CD covers and greeting cards." So, BALKDesign was brought under the parent company BALKIndustries.
BALKIndustries represents my family and the odds n' ends of hobbies I might have. No real company, never been incorporated - yet.
So, poke around, check out some of the photography galleries, blogs about things that 'grind my gears' and see what is going on with the family 'business.' And you never know... BALKIndustries might go live one day and you can say, "I remember when!"
