I didn’t realize it, but ID cards can also be art. That makes me an artist, since I am currently working on printing systems for producing ID’s, credit cards, and drivers licenses. I need to update my Facebook and LinkedIn profiles to reflect my new-found occupation.

I am an amateur genealogist having enjoyed this quest for over 50 years. I knew about ID badges but only in the context of the information they contained, name, date, company, physical information (sometime). I see now that I missed the other aspect all these years, ART. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
