I did manage to do some drawing at camp. This was a small doodle done during “Piano Tuning Meditation Time” before the evening concert. Grabbed a front row seat in the outdoor amphitheater and drew in silence as the piano turner worked on the beautiful $90k, hand-crafted Yamaha grand piano that would soon be played by some of the world’s greatest jazz pianists. And yes, that is the drum kit right in front of me.
Jazz Camp West is magical!

And a 2-minute sketch. Seems like a luxury after 30-seconds!

I’m home from camp and back to more spacious mornings, with time to practice faces, and Internet access to faces to draw.
These are all 30- and 60-second warmup sketches. My accuracy is not very good yet, but I’m enjoying the challenge of having a minute or less. It forces you to see things in a different way–find the representative shapes and lines FAST!

Today you get to be a fly on the wall for a conversation I had with one of my artist peer-heroes: Chris Wesley.
It’s a pretty long conversation — over an hour — and we actually spoke last year, way back in September. The reason it’s taken me so long to publish it is that I originally planned to publish conversations, oh, maybe once a month, but I realized pretty quickly that if I’m going to do any editing, and put together any kind of comprehensive show notes, it is just way faster and easier to do a monologue!
I honestly thought that episodes with guests would be faster — after all, I don’t have to come up with content — the guest provides the content. Our conversation just becomes the content. Whereas with my monologues, I put a lot of time into writing out what I want to talk about.
But after recording, conversations are a lot more work.
In order to create show notes, I have to listen to the entire conversation again and take notes. And honestly, my perfectionist tendencies kinda go wild.
Yes, I’m a card-carrying imperfectionist, but what that really means is that I’m a recovering perfectionist. I am completely transparent about the fact that I am not fully recovered yet!
For my podcast, I had visions of editing my conversation recordings into really tight, streamlined, narrated, This American Life kind of productions.
And that is just crazy time-consuming. Like full-time job time-consuming.
So I have a lot of interviews, recorded conversations, that have just been sitting on my hard drive!
I finally realized the only way to get these recordings out onto the podcast would be to [Read more…]
