Virtual Natives
Digital natives grew up with technology and analog things too. Virtual natives have had mostly digital experiences not a lot of analog. So they aren’t beholden to older technology and mental models. Interesting conversation!

What you discover when you really listen
Sketchnote from a Ted talk by Hrishikesh Hirway.
It seems to me all humans want belonging and creative outputs. Personally, I’ve found no other better way to do both of those things than to practice Improv.
Scribing Fundamentals
I had the pleasure of attending the Scribing Fundamentals workshop from Dpict. It was a great learning experience with a really nice group of people. I can’t recommend this workshop enough. We talked about drawing, or course. But this scribing / graphic recording / graphic facilitation work is really about listening. We used the word channel a lot too. Channeling what you’re hearing to synthesize or capture, and then drawing it. That process is so amazing to me. I look forward to growing as a practitioner and artist in these areas. Here’s some of the work I created: As a...

Some odd pics from the backstage
Took these odd pics from the backstage of the theatre we performed in last night. I like out of context oddities.

Bring images in Pages and lay them out > export as pdf > print or bring to procreate if you want to add...
Hooked on Zines
I’m really loving making zines these days. It started a couple years ago when I made a photo zine for our family Christmas cards. I made about ten for our immediate family. A while ago I made a zine about improv, and now another photo zine focusing on my weird photos from the sprocket rocket camera. I’m thinking of a hand drawn, then scanned and printed style next. Topics on the top of my mind… • 12 Principles of Animation • The Noble eight-fold path of Buddhism • A book summary of sorts for The Lies of Locke Lamora There’s...
