SXSW Visually Speaking

 

FULL DISCLOSURE: I was, indeed, in Texas during South by Southwest.  However, I was nowhere near Austin, and played with lots of fun nieces and nephews (all under the age of six) doing fun things like wrasslin', fishin', watching bronco ridin' and mutton bustin' at the Houston Rodeo. I didn't Tweet or Bleep all week. It was awesome.

Fortunately, there were enough Bloggers and Twitters and Visual Facilinators @sxsw to capture every angle. Check out these moleskin sketches by Austin Kleon (above) and Mike Rohde (video of live sketchnoting below).

Lots of Twitter action, of course; of special interest--the panel titled Shift Happens: Moving from Words to Pictures with some of our favorite peeps as panelists:  Lee LeFever, Sunni Brown, Dave Gray, and Tom Crawford. See panelist Dan Roam's thoughts on his blog (oh, such a woefully passé and antiquated form of communication).

Peter, thank you so much for taking the time to mention our panel. It was great sharing the stage with what I refer to as the 'mental behemoths' of visual thinking. I'm surprised you and I haven't met yet, but I would love to make it a point to when we're in the same city. I've heard much about you.

Best,
Sunni Brown
