I have this very same thing happen to me when I find old calendars or datebooks...sometimes even cell phone numbers in my CURRENT cell phone. I have NO idea who these people are! I tell myself that there is only so much space in the brain, and that once we get past the point of interaction with people, we more or less "update" them with our current neighbors, coworkers, etc. (Some of these names and numbers are likely connected with places I formerly worked, and that would be lots of places...) Your doodles are fun to look at!

funny, i've subscribed to your emails forever, but just the other day i ran across a website where people were discussing your book on creativity. where have i been???

Odd, I can look at sketchbooks from Highschool in the early '80s and usually I know what I was thinking.

Hi Danny, I completely undertand the "out of context" piece of drawings and notes! It may just be the speed of thoughts and patterns... my journals (and piles of index cards around my house and studio) are filled with sketches, words, threads of this and that, and after some time they become very abstract. While I'm now trying to be more deliberate and go into depth with my notes exactly for that reason, it still seems hard to write it all out in order to recognize it later. Then again, putting them on paper gives thoughts and ideas their own physical presence and in the process something always develops in our awareness. OK, that's a lot of words to say, that no matter how we do this, we cannot possibly do it wrong. Thanks so much for sharing your work and wisdom!

Hi Danny,
Mine is called Conference Call Art*grin*
