I created this blog back in 2018 and have revisited it rarely since. A recent task, however, has again directed my attention to completing this venture. For now, it is less of a blog and more of an organized collection of sketch demonstrations, some of which go back more than a decade.
Most of the content here was originally uploaded to Vimeo as a means to serve my students. Call me cheap, but after maintaining a subscription to Vimeo all this time, I learned the videos all disappear if that subscription is allowed to expire. So, with some help, I’ve pulled all 247 videos down from Vimeo-land and am reintroducing the most relevant ones via Youtube. I will do my best to organize them into pages and playlists that make sense. The more challenging thing is naming the pages in a manner that enables one to find the appropriate series of lessons.
Please forgive the video quality present on some of the older lessons, I started out threading a Flip Video Camera onto a tripod, avoiding the lens of a document scanner. Please, also, keep in mind the original intent of the recordings. You may hear a bit of banter with former students, who may or may not be running the most innovative design departments in the world.
It is a work in progress and will likely move at a snail’s pace over the next . . .
