When you’re in a boat and you spring a leak the water comes in.  With a leaky boat you need to abandon ship.  It’s know as getting swamped, or in the language of psychology: psychosis.

Shifting gears and breaking through some boundaries…that’s what this week has been about.  If you haven’t noticed, I study the practice of Chris Brogan pretty closely, and I try to learn from the moves I see him make.  At WordCamp Las Vegas Chris stressed delivering small snackable content, lots of it.  [...]

Dream : Driving on a mountain road with a car full and suddenly, quite unexpectedly the road goes right over a cliff.  Then at the bottom, everybody is dusting themselves off and checking for injuries.  I look back up the cliff and say to myself, “there had to be another [...]

Portrait of Childhood

January 23, 2009

Over the last two months, Judith and Ben have been spending a great deal of time together in the studio creating this life size portrait.  Judith paints her subjects from life, not using photographs.  Its an amazing process to be part of, though seldom do people get the chance to “sit” for a portrait these [...]
