It’s been three years! When I tell people I don’t own a car, they are often shocked, confused, or find themselves pitying me. I’ll let you in on a secret: here’s what they don’t know... The #publictransit operators that turn your commute into a conversation, poetry slam, prayer, or comedy show, whose love can’t help but be contagious The strangers that remind you how beautiful, how wounded, how resilient people can be The landscapes you can witness outside the bounds of a windshield, the beauty others might let pass them by (swipe) The ability to focus on the sounds of your breath or the birds as you walk, instead of on dodging careless drivers The precious time you get back, time you can use to learn, to create, to reflect, to fully transition from place to place The confidence in knowing you will figure it out, you can rely on others, you have all you need Grateful grateful #grateful #earthday #ecoconscious #carfree #sustainability #carbonneutral #climatechange #empowerment
I had a very hard week but ended it wisely, bookending today with two #creatives: @metasarmiento at @cm_denver talking about #inclusion (“As an #artist am I trying to create barriers or build bridges?”) and @austinkleon at @tatteredcoverbookstore talking about #creative living (“We don’t need better #artists, we need better human beings... It’s time for an #art that mends”). Yep, patrons, #sketchnotes are in process. #gratitude
Attended a #denvermayor2019 forum in my rapidly-gentrifying neighborhood this morning and boy did the #emotions surface! When I left I created this rough #visual to help me #process all that had transpired, witnessing both the #pain and the efforts towards #healing . I can’t help but feel that these events and #feelings are a microcosm of what’s happening in American #society and #culture right now. Please #vote but don’t stop there! Stay tuned Patreon patrons for my #sketchnotes - those of you who have yet to join our #community, click link in profile for deets. #restoration #reconciliation #reparation #courage #kindness #strength
Yesterday someone asked me what my #creative work is and I summed it up like this: I used to partner with others to help them #communicate about #complex #information and now I’m focused on sharing info that I think is #interesting and #useful through #clarifying visuals. This is a sample of recently-posted and soon-to-be posted #content on my Patreon page - see link in profile for more details. Our beloved #community is growing and it isn’t complete without you! . . #learning #curiosity #changemakers #create #collaborate #collaboration #systems #research #writing #storytelling #creativity #datastorytelling #dataviz #healing #therapeutic #cognition #psychology #communication #creatives #conflictresolution #archetypes
I experienced some low valleys this month, so I made this to bolster myself with the kind words that have been gifted to me over the years. They remind me of the power of words and of passing it on. :) #wordsofwisdom #wordsofencouragement #wordsarepowerful #kindness #kindnessmatters #keepgoing #support #supported #creativelife #makeadifference #makingadifference #creativeliving
Happy #springequinox ! Guess what I’m looking forward to blooming this season? #themythoferosandpsyche #comic #sequentialart #storytelling #visual #femininepsychology #feminine #psychology
If you’re like most people I’ve met over the years you might be weighed down by some pretty yucky specific beliefs about visuals, myths that took root at an early age and have largely gone unchallenged. Today’s your lucky day because I have a happy reality check for you, one that I think will not only free you from misunderstanding, angst, ambivalence, and fear but will also help us be less stuck in our work, our society, and our humanity.
