Maile produced these infographic sketches of the ENGLISH @ WORK model for as it has evolved over the last three years. I’m proud on so many levels.

What I Did Today
Sun Jan 16
I love these continuous line drawing angle people. Did you see people? Does the second one look like they’re on a cell phone?
Jamaican Gold  on KOOP is part of the Sunday morning tradition at my house. It sounds especially nice on this old Zenith tube radio I found at a yard sale last year.
I made a nice simple innovation on the journal format: from the top left prescribe what could/should happen, your todos; in the top right record what does happen.
These diamond doodles look so sculptural. I wonder how I could bring them to life? What metal, paper, or wire could reproduce these? A mobile might be nice, but I’m imagining a big upright, painted metal thing.
My Desktop
I had a lot of fun this evening making a custom header for this site. It’s as close a representation I can make at the moment of my actual desktop and the man in front of it. I tried to keep everything to scale by comparing it to the sketch pad, on my desk, then in the digital image.
- headphones (nicer than mine)
- Boss TU-12H tuner
- Strathmore sketch pad (spiral on top for this leftie)
