Commitment to your vision is important. Just ask my friend Mike Horn. I mentioned in my post yesterday (about imagination inspired by travel photos) that I was scurrying around getting ready for a trip with Mike. I'm running to the airport right now - and needless to say my imagination is also running with the thoughts of spending time with the... read more ›

For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand." Coming from a guy who had some serious knowledge that is a powerful statement. One of the things that stimulates imagination is, of course, travel.... read more ›

Whether you caught the LIVE show or missed it, I recommend pressing play on the #cjLIVE rewatch video above. You'll see why it was one of the most popular shows we've run. More than just funny and talented, Kawasaki is a fountain of knowledge on lofty topics like branding, marketing, and vision--down to really specific, actionable checklists for getting your art, photography, product, or gadget noticed. Four stars - not to miss. ----

Such was the case with my Seattle 100 book & gallery exhibition. But, in truth, I had little understanding when I published the project how much or what kind of ‘work’... read more ›

I get more questions via email and social channels than I could answer in a lifetime, but occasionally one jumps out at me as incredibly worthwhile to share. The answer to this question is important, and my response is below.

We had Allegra Wilde, visual strategist and co-founder of eyeist.com on the show, talking about common mis-steps and some of the best ways for your work to get noticed. She even gave us a quick portfolio review and a sneak peek at her upcoming service eyeist.com. You missed quite the show, indeed, but luckily the re-watch of... read more ›

Erik here...As the resident video editor here at Chase Jarvis Inc, I’m on a never ending search for music. Often times the music drives the edit.
