The daily interestingness that spills out of Maria Popova’s website Brain Pickings is astounding. Three articles a day, well-researched, cogently-written, and beautifully-designed. Candy for the brain. In March of 2012 Popova sat down with Debbie Millman for an interview on the radio show Design Matters. They talked about how Popova got into the work of… Continue Reading

Time-Lapse Capture of Graphic Recording Session Featuring Krista Tippett and Brené Brown
I only recently learned about some cheap time-lapse apps available on the iPhone. I downloaded one for $0.99, and put it to work capturing this graphic recording session in which I listened to Krista Tippett’s interview with Brené Brown as they talked about vulnerability on the ever-engaging radio show On Being: Here’s a picture of… Continue Reading
Sketchnotes of On Being Interview with Natalie Batalha
I have enjoyed every single On Being radio show that I’ve listnened to, but their recent interview with guest Natalie Batalha might have been my favorite thus far. Batalha is an astronomer who studies exoplanets and writes poetry on the side – not a bad combination. My particular interest in this interview stems from my… Continue Reading

A challenging project to undertake… Continue Reading

I have now had the pleasure of sketchnoting talks of two leaders of the civil rights movement. At a conference on social justice and education last summer I captured these sketchnotes as I listened to Freedom Rider David Dennis speak about the 50th anniversay of a number of landmark civil rights events, and the opportunity… Continue Reading
Graphic Recording of President Obama’s 2013 State of the Union Address
While I normally do my sketchnoting in a hand-held moleskin notebook, I decided to break out the poster paper last night and do a large-scale graphic recording of President Obama’s 2013 State of the Union address. Here’s how it turned out: This graphic recording was a nice way to address the state of my sketchnoting. … Continue Reading
Sketchnotes of On Being Interview with Rami Nashashibi
After a positive response to my sketchnotes from last week’s On Being interview with Seth Godin, I decided to give the show another listen yesterday, and I wasn’t disappointed. Host Krista Tippett interviewed activist Rami Nashashibi in Chicago, where they talked about how he came to Islam, the new American Muslim dream, and efforts to… Continue Reading
