You need visuals in your story!
Affiliate Summit Doodle
Using only text to convey ideas, concepts, and even simple details can be boring for readers. It’s just true. When I think about what grabs my attention on any media platform or even walking by brick and mortar stores, I am captivated by thoughtful, visual moments. As I was walking by Google Fiber in downtown Austin a week ago, I…

Kringle all the what?
Kringle all the what?
Have you ever seen something on a friend’s mantle, and thought THAT’S IT! That’s what we’ll paint tomorrow! Alright, usually I’m not so last minute, but this was just speaking to me. Plus, it rhymes with pringle. It was a tad ambitious for us to work on, but seriously these cool cats knocked it out of the park! Artists featured (left to right): Rebecca, Falcon, Stephen, Kathy Supplies needed:…

Artist Spotlight: Mary Ellen Bowels
The Spanish Village Art Center is located in Balboa Park in San Diego. Since 1937, it’s been a place where dedicated artists unite. Today, the village is home to 37 artist studios, which means 300 local artists! Studio 6 is where Mary Ella Bowles spends her days as an artist. The more I spoke with her during my day of exploration in San Diego, the more I was intrigued. She was the only artist in…

Dinosaur: Process
This is a painting I’ve been working on for a while! I work on it a little at a time, come back to it. Paint over it, come back. It’s taken a turn… and I like where it’s headed. Sometimes you just have to trust the process and enjoy painting. When I teach art lessons, frustration comes when people don’t trust the process- their focus is on the end result. You really can’t judge the end result 20…

Judah and the Lion
http://yodoodle.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Judah-the-Lion-ATX.mp4 One of your favorite bands comes to town, and the concert is sold out. You had no idea they were coming, and it’s happening tonight. You happen to be free. Woops… turns out, you aren’t free. Cancel those planz. Sorry Felicia. Internal battle: You want a friend to accompany you. But time is running out. Who would be…

Random doodles: Day 1/30
Doodling on things- anything- just can’t be a sketchbook. Passion planner is a cool product I ordered a while back on kickstarter. For visual people, it’s great- you can outline goals, projects, and roadmaps and see the progress you’ve made over time. It can be an effective tool to use. But, you can have all the tools in the world for the goals in your head- but sitting down and actually doing it…

#SXSW15 | Video Interview with SenSprout
SXSW draws people from all over the world. Yasu is a part of SenSprout, a startup based out of Tokyo. Meet the leaf-shaped sensors that can measure water and the moisture of soil. Best part about it? You can PRINT them! This is great news, because right now, these devices are expensive for farmers to use. If you want to read on, see what vondroid and TechCrunch have to say.

it's free! sign up here!
If you are into Austin, tech, looking for a new gig, wanting to meet some cool people, seeing what the coolest companies in Austin are up to, this is the place you should be!
You say, I'm not really into tech. Really? Do you have an iPhone? Than you totally are. But seriously. If you aren't really into the tech scene, but you love the ATX/meeting new people, this is a huge opportunity for you to see that Austin is busting at the seams (I'm sure you knew this, already, but the reality will hit you by attending!) According to the WSJ, Austin is actually rated higher than San Francisco in Savills’ Tech City Metrics! Do you feel like your job environment is a tad too rigid and corporate for you? Attending this event will TOTALLY give you an idea of the excitement, enthusiasm, casual culture, and people you'd be working with in the tech world. All tech companies need people do accounting, marketing, operations, design, and sales. Why not work in tech? A lot of these companies are growing fast, and hiring!
Use this link below to sign up for the crawl, for the map (you'll need it), and a list of sponsors that will be there. A few sponsors to name a few are: WPEngine, uShip, Atlassian HipChat, 3 Day Startup, Capital Factory, Civitas Learning, and Boxer.

See you there :)
Life | Filling it.
Filling life with things you love and enjoy and are passionate about is so important. I have for some reason not been doing a few different things that I love---- and I just realized it about a week ago. Maybe I've been focused on my new job? I'm not really sure. But a new friend in Austin invited me to a concert about a week ago. I come ALIVE when I see live music. It's one of those things that I just can't explain.... and that I just LOVE. During the concert it hit me... I have got to do this more. I love hearing the original lyrics and the whole experience of all the instruments coming together. So I went to two more shows that week. And I'm seeing one on Thursday. Thank you, new Austin friend. Here are some pics from some recent shows!
The Happiness of Pursuit
There is a book that I've been reading for a few months now called, "The Happiness of Pursuit" and it has been super influential in my life. It couldn't have com at a better time. The way I got my hands on this book is a story in itself (see below)
(wrote a letter to a really cool entrepreneur guy in Nashville, TN to see if I could get his advice about my professional career, he agreed to meet with me, he got me an interview with his friend who helped start Warby Parker, had 3 interviews, didn't get the job, but it got me this book because I happened to walk into a book signing of Chris Guillebeau through these happenings)
Chris wanted to visit every country in the world before he was 35. And he did! Every single one! His book documents several people who have "quests", and the list ranges from living in a tree for year in protest, to walking across the United States. There is so much I love about the book, and it even gives practical steps on how to plan/figure out your own quest! But the tile says it all. Rather than the "Pursuit of Happiness", he flipped it. To the "Happiness of Pursuit". He talks about how life is richer and lived true and fullest when enjoying the journey, having quests and adventures. And that doesn't necessarily mean traveling to exotic places- it can mean meeting someone from every state or making meal in your home from every country. Challenging yourself throughout the journey, and loving the ride. He includes this in his book, a poem that pretty much sums it up:
"Keep Ithaka always in your mind. Arriving there is what you are destined for. But do not hurry the journey at all. Better if it lasts for years, so you are old by the time you reach the island, wealthy with all you have gained on the way, not expecting Ithaka to make you rich." -- Cavafy (inspired by the Odyssey)
Love this! Black is my favorite color to wear for sure. Right now at least!
Atlanta > Austin TX
Three months ago if you would have told me I'd be living in Austin, Texas.... I wouldn't have believed you! But here I am 2 months later, and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. It all started with a creative idea, and it launched me into a really cool journey that I'm excited to share. Here are a few pics that are from the journey so far! Over the next week or so I'll unravel why I headed to Austin, and some of my experiences since then!
