Creative fear of failure – Wednesday wallpaper

Oh alliteration, how we love thee. But let me squash the expectation up front that I’ll be doing a new wallpaper every Wednesday. Just not realistic.

With that out of the way, it is Wednesday … and I do have a new wallpaper. Enjoy.

Tribute wallpaper: Thank you, #18.

As most longtime Colts fans are coming to realize, it’s hard to put into words just how much of an impact Peyton Manning has had on the Colts franchise, the fan base, our appreciation for the game of football, and beyond. So I won’t bother trying here.

What I will do, however, is share my tribute wallpaper for you to populate your devices with…

Various size links below. Enjoy.

Everyday Leaders

Leadership has almost become a taboo term that some of us are too timid to claim.  The challenge is to accept that leadership is not about changing the world. It’s about touching & changing lives, one at a time. So says Drew Dudley in his TEDx talk below.

 

Now go find your person in the stupid hat and tell them what an impact they’ve had on your life.

Invincible, Indiana – book cover artwork

A recent joint venture with my friend Nate Dunlevy has produced for me yet another portfolio piece.

Nate contacted me a few months ago about doing the cover for a book he’d written about “small town basketball”, as he described it in the initial email. Keep in mind that my basketball experience roughly amounts to sinking two free throws in a junior high game. Two. In a row. Pretty epic, right? So I was somewhat leery that I’d be able to make a connection with the book that would help to get the best visual results.

I’m not a fast reader, but he sent me the manuscript* on a friday… and I finished it that sunday.

*Design clients: take note, this is how you treat design – not as an afterthought, but as an integral part of the entire process… (steps down off soapbox).

Original sketch and final cover after the jump…
