 So, I’ve talked about my obsession with educational comics here before. I love comics as an art form and a communication tool. And I love following Blue Water Comics’ Female Force series, in which the biographies of famous women are told in words and pictures. Since they recently released a title on Martha Stewart, I … Read On! There’s More!  K and I have some home improvement going on this weekend. We had been talking about moving this year, but ended up deciding that staying put another year was more prudent. But after six years in the same place, let’s just say a refresh is needed. BOY, would I love to replace this sofa! It’s … Read On! There’s More!  I must admit, I really loved waking up not-exhausted this Saturday morning.

Thanks to the awesomeness of I Heart Art: Portland, you can peruse this free video version of the Social Marketing workshop I taught for them earlier this month. In this workshop, I talked about ways to use social media as a storytelling tool, and how to figure out what your story is in the … Read On! There’s More!  First of all, it should be said that I reviewed this book over on CRAFT recently. So, for a more straightforward review, you can head over there. (You can download a free project from the book over there, too!) I was interested in writing about Block Party over here because I think it represents a … Read On! There’s More! |
