And then–here are two pages from a book I made last week in Miami Beach–too crowded to please me artistically but another example of how I’m trying to merge comics and sketchnote techniques to think.

Ok, one of the latest things I’ve been doing is preparing for teaching residencies by observing classroom teachers. I find myself using a text/image style that kinda merges comic frames and sketchnoting. I’m teaching both of those styles this year…

OK, I’ve been waiting for the perfect time to start this log…and it never arrives. Going to do some catch-up here, so multiple posts with different sets of sketchnotes attached.
