As we get older, we often find ourselves become more jaded and more cynical. After a few bumps, scratches and wounds, the walls go up. But the beauty of children is their overwhelming desire to simply love. My son Tristan, who prays for sick children in the hospital, admonishes me when I pass by a [...]

If you’ve been following me for a while, you probably haven’t heard me shut up about sketchnotes. Essentially they are a method of note-taking in which you draw images or diagrams rather than just write pure text. Sketchnotes are perfect for visual thinkers and have really become popular over the past few years.   I got [...]

So I just finished my latest hand drawn typography piece… another Tshirt for Brews Up. Brews Up aims to promote craft beer and local breweries. What better way to promote local breweries than to squeeze all San Diego breweries and pubs, (members of the San Diego Brewers Guild), into the letters “SD”? I would have [...]

And from that decision came my first “Balance Wheel.” I divided a pie chart into six segments that I felt best represented the different facets of my [...]
