In memorandum George
Saturday last I was told that George had died.
To be honest I had to think for a few moments who he was. “You know that big strong bold guy with the motorcycle”.
I knew.
In my world there are two kind of people:
Some people walk into your favorite bar or you place of work and except when [...] -

Going for imperfection
The advantage and disadvantage of drawing less perfect.
My experiment yesterday to draw while tired taught me an important lesson: Either the lines are perfect or the overall picture is perfect. Never both of them.

It took me a few weeks to figure out what was going wrong and how I should deal with it.

Getting those juices flowing again
Finding a way out of the “annoyance” trap.
What do you get when you put 2.000 people with disabilities in a room?
A lot of complaints about all the problems they have.
Last week one of my colleagues got a new job. After having a secondment at some company they gave her a contract.
You would think that every [...]
