I’m the author of GEORGE’S RUN and I’m a visual storyteller
I’m a visual storyteller. That’s basically what it amounts to, even when I think I’m being something else, like a writer. I’m always thinking visually. That’s what led me to focus on working with words and pictures which developed into comics and other forms of visual storytelling like graphic recording.
Now, let me say that graphic recording, the way I do it, is not something you just hop on and do. It takes time to develop and a desire to do it in the first place. Some people may have some of the skills but not the overall interest. I bring a lifetime of working with words and pictures, in the form of comics, along with my finely-honed sketchnoting skills. What can I say. It’s fun!
My work is fun. One of my favorite persons in the world, the writer George Clayton Johnson, was fond of saying that he daydreamed for a living. I feel the same way. Of course, that’s a big part of it along with a dedication to the final results whether it’s a painting, a photograph, film or a novel. What sets me apart, if I need to distinguish things a bit, is that I love all sorts of artistic disciplines as well as respect them. Every endeavor takes time. Every project takes time. And, once I’m working on a project, I give it my all.
