The Art of Non-Conformity.

Chris Guillebeau is in town tonight to discuss his new book! I've been inspired by him 6.3 billion times. If you're looking to meet some cool people & get your butt in gear I suggest heading out to meet Chris. I'm crossing my fingers & toes that I can make it. Here's a blurb from his site...

"The Art of Non-Conformity (AONC) project chronicles my writing on how to change the world by achieving significant, personal goals while helping others at the same time. In the battle against conventional beliefs, we focus on three areas: Life, Work, and Travel."

Chris will be at Bright Sky Press HQ (5414 Chaucer) at 7:00pm. I hope to see you there!

Workplace Wednesday

I love love love seeing where people create. It's taken me a LONG time to find a weekly feature that I haven't already seen all over the internet & something that excites me enough for me to keep it up. SO here we go! When I was thinking about what workspace would be my first Workplace Wednesday post I went straight to 1 of my top favorite number one artists, Kime Buzzelli. I'd be blown away if you haven't seen her art around. She even has an eyeshadow set with her packaging design for Urban Decay, which I have of course;) I first saw her featured in Nylon or something years ago. She ADORES fashion & vintage & incorporates the 2 into her art. In addition to being an amazing artist she is also a stylist on 90210 currently.

It's so refreshing to see spaces where art is being made. Nothing is perfect, it's pretty scatttered. It's exactly how I work...so I feel more normal seeing other artists spaces. Don't get me wrong, I love beautifully designed & styled offices, I just don't WORK that way.

Here's a video from an art installation Kime did recently featuring a "create your own room" sort of concept.

Email me if you'd like to be featured on Workplace Wednesday! I'd LOVE to see where you create.
