Conversation Without Words
A couple months ago I ordered new business cards based on an updated design of my home page. Then I decided more homepage needed more changes. I had a stack of 1000 obsolete cards. Yesterday, I sat rewatching Safe Men and started drawing:


Alright... conversations.

No words (yet).


I did the dear and turtle. I know I'm drawing bears very similarly to an online colleague, but I'm not putting my finger on who. Hopefully, they'll see it as camaraderie and not copying.


Then I began drawing individuals. I tend to draw very, very basic characters in my graphic facilitation. That's mostly a matter of speed. Capturing the content of the conversation is the number one priority. Adding character is a later priority is, I'd say, third priority, after organizing the content.

Odysseus Returns!
Tartuffe?
What do I know?

So far 2007 has had me traveling far (Berkeley, CA) and wide (Buffalo, NY). Work has been good. My personal life has been squeezed into the spaces in between. My art? Plenty of ideas, little realized this year, besides my pinch pot frenzy.

July 18th, I took a detour. Numo, my lil' pet hedgehog, got sick. That kept me in the Nest, nursing him. Sadly, on August 3rd, I had to put him down. It was/is very sad. But check out his blog to enjoy his life. Viva La Numo!

Running a hedgehog hospice, being home for a chunk of time and a good conversation with a colleague sparked a run of Very Good Work on Loosetooth.com. Much weeding, focusing, getting a handle on everything.

Some people in my circles have shown themselves Complete Rockstars. Others stun me with the way they elbow their way through life. I'm thinking about my choice between those two. Other options.

I've begun acupuncture treatments with the Super Regina Chen. That's helped me learn loads about myself, physically, emotionally.

I'm working on hitting My Own Personal Reset Button. Please stay tuned.

Go Forth! Overuse Capiltalization!
