Blog-to-Blog Conversation Intro

I am not sure if I am just nostalgic for design conversations like in the good-old days, or if I am looking for an excuse to reconnect with old friends, but I have been corresponding by email with people that have influenced me significantly over the years, particularly in regard to my creative development. One of those friends is Jason Simanek, a talented designer/artist/thinker that I went to college with at Concordia University. I have fond memories of sharing a studio with Jason and the many conversations where we pushed each other in hopes of understanding what art was and what it meant to be an artist. I can’t believe that was almost a decade ago and I am still wrestling with the same ideas. I wasn’t surprised that an email to Jason sparked some interesting ideas. We decided that it would be fun to make our conversation public and experiment with a blog-to-blog conversation. The first fruits of this experiment can be seen on Jason’s blog at bohemianalps.com. Here are links to the first two posts:

In Search of a Truly Creative Occupation

Fine Art in Museums: Tigers in Zoos

I hope you enjoy our thoughts, and watch for me to post the next chapter in the conversation soon…
