Maurice Sendack, Our Favorite Wild Thing, Passes Away

I got to meet Maurice Sendack in New York City in the 80′s after a talk he gave to Parsons students. He signed my sketch book – I was in awe but he smiled and said “Aren’t lines wonderful?” Thank you Maurice, for your wonderful spirit!

Handmade Type and we mean that literally!

Tien-Min Liao of New York City has taken 2 of my obsessions; Speaking with your Hands and Typography and combined them in a graphically elegant and delightfully unexpected way.               Check out her Behance Portfolio page HERE

Do not be afraid…

… of your technology. This is a refreshing look at how our amazing technology can enable magic, create dreams, and help us live richly in real world.

Illustrator Users Pay Attention!

Rufus is right.  Everyone should be using the Appearance Panel if they are using Illustrator.  Tho it has been available for 10 years most of us only use it here and there.   For all of my intermediate students… Get into the habit of having it open, you WILL thank me (Grin)

Mildly Amusing…

Waking Students Up!

Are you a genius divergent thinker?   Is your learning institutional or genetic? Sir Ken Robinson hits on many ideas I can passionately embrace when it comes to teaching – Take a look!   “Collaboration is the stuff of growth. “  -Sir Ken Robinson
