Some musings on a rainy Friday night in New York

I wrote about it  here.

Sometimes, a rainy night is the best time to go view art.



A few London Sketches and one from NYC

A lot of activity with the Influencer Scorecard Summit about to begin Monday morning and our DataStories Meetup happening tomorrow night, a few articles appearing immanently in VentureBeat, one on BrightRoll and another on Chrome OS, a trip to Montreal next month to help with KeenKong, and life, are all on my mind right now.     I’m also doing a guest post on Jennifer Lindsay‘s blog soon and chapter of a new Twitter Job Search book… and then, there’s my sketches.

I lost 3 sketchbooks in a row, including the last one, in London, and regretted it greatly – and while I about Social Media all the time – I also think about Art – and some of the best thoughts I have come to me while I’m sketching or doodling, even.

It was like that with the idea that Social Media isn’t a tactic, isn’t a technology as much as it’s an evolution in way we communicate, using technology – anything that focuses on technology or platforms will be obsolete as soon as the ink dries on the paper it’s printed on (yep, but most of our stories aren’t printed that much, we read them online or via storage devices).

Anyway, here’s what I drew about while I had the thoughts I’ve been coming up with lately – the last few drawings I did in London last week, and one I did Friday night at the Rubin Museum of Art – I won’t title them – just enjoy them, if you like art.

I feel I put the best part of myself in my sketches and I can remember ever one of them, even the one’s I lost.

One of my favorite Google Paintings – Jackson Pollock's painting

Wanted to capture this wonderful image of Google’s home page today, before it went away.

Gosh!  That Google painting in the style Jackson Pollock must have been pretty hard to do.

BTW, just joined SEMPO.
