Some logical logic:
Artists are creative.
Impossible things need creative solutions.
I want to go snowboarding in Argentina this summer.
How can I make this happen? Going to need some creativity!

Watchmen Revealed- I had some notes but I can’t find them. Also, they are in doodle-format. And then they only make sense to me. For example, here is a page of notes from Contemporary Feminisms class. I had been drawing, and my friend wrote me a note on the tiny green scrap of paper “No Drawing.” My reply is just above what he said. “These are notes.”
He turned around and didn’t talk to me again. I thought he was mad. Turned out he was laughing too hard. 
So instead you get a quick summary of Watchmen Revealed. Basically, scenes like “Blake’s Demise” were broken down into layers. It was really fascinating, even though animation isn’t really my industry. Also, a lot of people were dropping off resumes and the appetizers were pretty delicious. …wish I had my notes. Apologies.
A place to go for inspiration, AND a bit of credibility. And after getting inspired, may I recommend following @minervity on Twitter- lots of good resources.
I had this great conversation last night with another native artist and we chatted about Rebecca Belmore, Brian Jungen, and Paul Yuxweluptan. I was joking about stalking Jungen- that is, I’ve googled him, been to his exhibits at the VAG, and looked up his number in a phone book. His assistant is very friendly and warm. However, he was in Europe at the time. These three artists are some of my favorites- I really admire them. I met Rebecca Belmore at an artist talk and I cried- the work she does is just so important and moving.

Visual notes are actually suggested as a learning strategy in high school curriculums now. We learned about them in my “how to teach English” class.
