Paul Bunting came by on Friday. He showed me book two of a five book series on Washington and the Revolution, written by John Marshall. And Paul left me with some photocopied pages about Lexington, Concord and Breed’s Hill. There was no Paul Revere mentioned. While we were talking, I also learned about the Scheide […]
I’m reading a book by Dianne Mize, Finding Freedom to Create – A Painter’s Road Map. And yesterday on my walk back from White Horse Coffee Shoppe, I was looking at everything with the possibility of drawing it. Kind of drawing with my hand in the air. Mize presents drawing as a response. It’s just […]
Kate is learning AutoDesk Inventor in an online class at school. The other day, she had to stay late because there’s only one computer at school that can run AutoDesk. Earlier in the month, I had installed Windows 10 on my MacBook Pro using Virtualbox. Given that AutoDesk is a processor intensive program, I didn’t […]
I realize that I suck at drawing, but I did draw this based on a photo, not tracing a photo. I don’t feel comfortable at all using ArtRage yet. What I did notice today is the importance of some kind of framework around which to draw. I learned that it’s best to draw a face […]
After I finished Cal Newport’s book, Digital Minimalism, this morning, I sat down to draw a duck that I photographed on Sunday. I could draw it on paper, but I was using ArtRage. Honestly, I’ve enjoyed the fact that, in Photoshop, I can rework a photo into something that looks artistic. The Artrage interface is much […]
If you ask someone what they want, I think a culvert isn’t going to be high on the list for most people. But this culvert provides a hugely important connection between Morrisville and Bristol on the D&L Canal. People don’t know what they’ve been missing! The D&L Canal Towpath starts in Bristol and heads towards […]
I’ve been meaning to share this perspective for sometime. It was an evening view, from a photo I took from my office window. So, I worked with it in Photoshop this morning. Random thoughts… Last night I was thinking about terminology – clients or customers. Do we have to define people as clients or customers? Neither […]
To know my customers, and to align what I do with their needs… I traveled to Boston, Cambridge, Scranton, and Wilkes-Barre this week. I met with over 30 people on Monday and Tuesday. The photoshop rendering is based on a photo I took on my walk from downtown Boston to the Cambridge Development Department. Why […]
As I walked into White Horse Coffee and Creamery today, I saw Mikael Brucker for the first time in Jenkintown. He recently returned from Oregon. We looked at the website he set up for his naturopathy and acupuncture practice: The funny thing is, we met on Isla San Cristobal in the Galapagos and shared an […]
CISV’s Philly Chapter moved from paper applications sent in the mail to google forms accessed from the website, philly.cisvusa.org.
I created a video to explain the system and answer questions people might have.
