these come to you, today, courtesy of a sudden flurry of activity in our garage. to say that my art files are a bit mixed-up is -- well, actually, they're not really that mixed-up, but these pen and ink drawings were not where i expected them to be, so it was a joy to come across them. all were done a dozen or so years ago. two of the pieces were created for the gap (i contributed art for several seasons in the '90s, and it was great fun to walk into the store and see it on children's wear and various other items). i also did quite a bit of personalized stationery and invitations, which explains the luggage (for a graduation party) and the houses (christmas card for a family).

you've got to make art with what you've got

why art?

because in words pictures voices heard notes sung

there is that unexpected shiver that runs up my spine,

i realize i've forgotten to breathe for a minute & it's got

to be the closest thing to touching heaven when we are

here on earth: like the face of your child the wisdom of

those who care for you the hand of your true love it is

the treasure of the eternal in the land of those who live

that's why art

the courage to change: IDEA

From John Maeda: The RISD IDEA

"Right now, our nation sees left-brain thinking, focused on logic and reasoning, as critical to future economic development. You can see it in the emphasis on the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) subjects. What's missing from STEM is right brain thinking -- embodied by what I call the key "IDEA" (Intuition, Design, Emotion, Art). We need both both halves of the brain to work together and channel that brilliance through our hands and propagate ideas throughout our world. We all wonder why Apple's products have that je ne sais quoi that draw us in. I'm beginning to think that it's not just that they understand the power of simplicity, or the power of software. It's that you can see they were born from a person, from two dirty hands, from just a little bit of technology, and from a massively powerful IDEA."
