Writer & Gadabout
It’s been awhile since I have shared anything from Grant Snider’s Incidental Comics. (See my previous posts about The Story Coaster and All I Need To Write.) My friend Ben sent this to me a while back. As with most of Snider’s work, it’s incredibly accurate and wonderfully charming. Click on the image or follow this link to see the comic full sized. I also highly recommend following Snider on Twitter as well.
It is here! It has arrived! I am so excited to share with you Overlooked Details: An Artist’s Journey, a documentary about my wife, Kari-Lise Alexander. I couldn’t be prouder of Kari-Lise and I am glad Scott Wilson gave her the opportunity to share her story. I think any creative will find her an inspiration. Full credits below the video. I recommend watching this full screen. Enjoy!
This is a story about resilience – about what it really takes to be an artist.
This is the story of Kari-Lise Alexander, an acclaimed oil painter whose work has been shown at international galleries. Along with her husband, author K.M. Alexander, and friend, woodworker Steve Leroux, Kari-Lise recounts her past and present struggles and shares what she’s learned along her journey. It’s not just talent. It will never be perfect. And success is not a destination.

Illustrator, cartoonist, and author Tom Gauld pretty much nailed the creative process with this little comic. I was dealing with this last night…
See more of Tom Gauld’s work here, check out his book Goliath or You’re All Just Jealous of My Jetpack over on Amazon, and follow him on Twitter.
Always listen to experts. They’ll tell you what can’t be done and why. Then do it.
I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, It’s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, And that enables you to laugh at life’s realities.
“A good science fiction story should be able to predict not the automobile but the traffic jam.”
