We are currently on a working vacation in the Caribbean. When I get home you will see full travel posts with finished napkins and photos from my 'real' camera. But for now, here are a few from my iPhone to whet your appetite, ok?
SoFabCon – New Friends
When I travel I draw and photograph a number of things that don't make it into a travel blog post. In most cases it's not that the drawing or photo is bad, but it just didn't fit in with the flow of the story I was telling. Then again, sometimes the drawing or photo...
SoFabCon – Day 3 & 4
On the third day of SoFabCon my true love gave to me.... A pep talk. I was feeling that occasional feeling we all get when we go to a conference. You feel connected and known, then you feel anonymous and invisible. You feel everyone wants to sit with you, then...
SoFabCon, Day 2
Scenes from a conference. We woke up to snow on May 3rd! Wow. Ted Rubin is one of the reasons I came to the conference. I heard him speak when I was speaking at BlogWorld in 2012 and his ideas have kept me thinking ever since. The photos and napkin illustrates why. He...
SoFabCon – day 1

Heroes and Goddesses – A Travel Napkin Story, Part 2
The Truman Library Before I met the two Goddesses I talked about in part 1, I visited the home of 2 of my heroes. I met them at the Truman library in Independence, Missouri, just east of Kansas City. Truman is obviously one of the men I am talking about. The other...
Two Freckled Women Talking – A Travel Napkin
This is what I do when I am traveling and can't find anyone to draw while I eat breakfast.
Heroes & Goddesses – A Travel Napkin Story – part 1
A Road Trip On Sunday I drove 9 1/2 hours to get to Cedar Rapids, Iowa to attend my Aunt Ann's funeral on Monday. I left to return home that same afternoon. I could have driven it straight back but it would have had me arriving around 2am, waking up Linda, if she...
Aunt Ann’s funeral – A Travel Napkin
I am on the road to Cedar Rapids, Iowa to attend the funeral of my Aunt Ann on my father's side of the family. I did this drawing imagining her on earth and in heaven at the same time, which we all are at every moment.
Drawing vs Looking – Travel Napkin, Dallas
I went to Dallas, Texas for a few days this week to visit my daughter. I did this drawing while at Starbucks one morning. Haley Being Drawn I hung out at Starbucks yesterday morning and did a drawing of a woman having what seemed to be a mentoring time with someone...
I Love Museums – Travel Napkin
I have been to four museums on this trip. I am reeducated, newly educated, inspired, motivated, empowered, and created great images within their walls as well. Drawing and quote by Marty Coleman
