Airborne (oil on panel), by Brooklyn-based artist Alex Roulette.

I really love these paintings. Sort of a mixture of Robert Bechtle and Andrew Wyeth with the slightest bit of surrealism thrown in.

“There’s no competitive advantage today in knowing more than the person next to you. The world doesn’t care. The world cares about what you can do with what you know – do you have the skill, do you have the will.”

- Harvard’s Tony Wagner, author of Creating Innovators: The Making of Young People Who Will Change the World, speaking at Skillshare’s Penny 2012 conference.

Wagner’s insights echo John Seely Brown’s in the excellent A New Culture of Learning: Cultivating the Imagination for a World of Constant Change, as well as Sir Ken Robinson’s vision for changing educational paradigms to better foster creativity.

"What is the marker of good design? It moves. The story of a successful piece of design begins with..."

“What is the marker of good design? It moves. The story of a successful piece of design begins with the movement of its maker while it is being made, and amplifies by its publishing, moving the work out and around. It then continues in the feeling the work stirs in the audience when they see, use, or contribute to the work, and intensifies as the audience passes it on to others. Design gains value as it moves from hand to hand; context to context; need to need. If all of this movement harmonizes, the work gains a life of its own, and turns into a shared experience that enhances life and inches the world closer to its full potential.”

- The introduction of The Shape of Design, by Frank Chimero.

So excited to start reading this. But I have so many things in my reading queue. Halfway through 1Q84, after all this time. Summer! Please come sooner so I can have more time to myself!
