THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY
|
|
Stick to the process - it won’t let you down. In the event of coming up with as many quick ideas as possible, there are some that, given a different day, would have won the nomination to be evolved into the most colourful of artwork.

Sometimes the ideas are just there in the conversation, and they pop up like a gopher in a hole, unsurprised by you just as you’re surprised by them. They practically draw themselves. No it’s like this!

|
|
|
|

Well, every once in a while they cross my path, and they instantly teleport me back to the conversation they came from, which makes me smile, as I’ve had the pleasure of visually collaborating with some loverly people.

It is quite possible that the next ten illustrations posted on this visual blog could hold the title the new normal. Yet not even I (!) can tell you what the new normal looks like. Video meeting participants talking enthusiastically whilst on mute is definitely nothing new, there's just a whole bunch more people at it. So if you find …
