cellphoneSketchpad began kinda randomly in 2007 while exploring the social photo sharing features on Facebook. The early cellphone ‘sketches’ were captured using a Motorola Razr (a.k.a., my dumbPhone) – max image resolution, less than 1MP! (640 x 480 at 72 pixels per inch).

An avid ‘little black sketchbook’ artist since before college, I had not done much with photography since. I became fascinated with the immediate accessibility of the cellphone camera vs the necessary intention required to use SLR + gear. Since the phone was always with me, it became more of an extension to my pen, ink, sketchpad toolset – less about formal photography; more about capturing ideas quickly in real-time. Sometimes these cellphone’sketches’ lent themselves to more finished work but much of the time they are what they are.

This blog was launched on June 28, 2009 with a commitment to publish at least once daily. Posts always combine words and image(s) with lots of room to play, to explore and — wait for it… to #fail! There is a freedom in sketching that tends to keep things loose and fun vs all of those ‘serious’ assignments that can tighten us up because they ‘matter’ so much or require ‘approval’ by committee. A sketch doesn’t have to work – in fact, mistakes often lead to discoveries that may not have happened otherwise.

cellphoneSketchpad continues to evolve, as a daily blog; can be seen in galleries; has been used in college and K-12 curricula; on limited edition pigment dyed prints, greeting cards and pillows. The web site is now open for submissions. Got a cellphoneSketch you’d like to share? Send it in! Leave comments here or on Facebook. Either way, thanks for stopping by. Best to you in 2012 – in whatever ‘vehicles’ you choose for your journeys.

Happy New Year!

flinch - quicker than 20 years of therapy

If you read only one more book this year, PLEASE make it this one:

Flinch

On the other hand… 10 reasons NOT to read this, asap, including rescheduling your day around reading it to make the remaining part of your day better:

  1. It’s free so it can’t be any good.
  2. It will take you a whole half hour to read, 45 minutes, tops – but who really has that kind of time??
  3. You can download it in 5 seconds to whatever device you have your kindle app on so it’s too damn convenient (also see #1).
  4. You may all ready be familiar with the author, Julien Smith (co-author of Trust Agents), what’s the chance he has anything left to say?
  5. You may all ready be familiar with ideas and (self) challenges presented by Seth Godin and The Domino Project and maybe you’re ‘all set with that…’.
  6. You prefer paying for a therapist every week.
  7. It WILL challenge you to do your work (and other stuff) with deeper insight – about… YOU! (and that can stir up all kinds of nasty scary stuff and really who wants to go there when there’s so much great television??).
  8. It has 5 homework assignments including one that makes you take a very cold shower.
  9. It might make you uncomfortable about changes you need to make.
  10. It uses a boxing metaphor.

Bonus reason not to read Flinch

11. It has, perhaps, the most refreshing guarantee (disclaimer??) at the end of a book:

A SURE-FIRE PATH TO FAILURE
At this point in most books, the authors promise you that if you do what they say, you’re sure to succeed
In this case, you’re sure to fail. To be rejected. To discover wrong paths. To see what humiliation is like, firsthand.
You’re sure to live.
An then yes, maybe, you might reach your goals.
Would you have it any other way?
