Silent offices are amazing (amazingly weird for some of us).  What’s you’re work style?  Out loud? or are you a quiet little fish?

Hella meta.... get something to supercharge your gig.  It’s an Artwerky thing.

This time, it just be us.  Notes, yes, notes:

Top News on ArtWerk:  WE HAVE A FACEBOOK PAGE.  Thank you Sean Bolton for gettin’ it up with us/for us.

Do these count as Rollerskating pants?  Panties? Shorts?  Wha......

Either way, this is a rad video and full of rollerskating. 

This is Chris Mulkey-  Amelias Dad.  He’s weird and wonderfull too.  And, he did a rollerskating scene sometime during his career. He doesn’t regret it, we bet.

That’s it kids!  You can always find us here or on Twitter where you can talk us us realz easy- @artwerking 

Check out Sean’s blog if you are interested in all things: UX, branding, organizational design, how organizations manifest their mission, writing code, how people tell their stories etc. An Artwerker FO SHO.

Also- Sean just graduated! Awe! SO HEAD OF THE GAME

Amelia has mentors!  Here are just a few:

Nancy Miller: writer, show runner and good Catholic. Nancy  taught Amelia that you can be a fierce artist/business woman WHILE still upholding your personal values. AND that loyalty and kindness to those that work for you will create family environment that will go the extra mile.  

Heather Cappiello: director of film, tv, and a bad ass parent. Heather taught Amelia to trust her instincts, to be a careful with who you show your work to at each stage of a project, and that hard work is valuable but also know when it is time to runaway with the circus for awhile.

Also- Flash dance just because.

Here is a sweet article on his latest venture!

Artwerky moments?

Amelia says gettin’ it all in a spreadsheet is painful and clarity-making.  And, feeling shitty about working the numbers?  Wear a Fedora while you do it!

Dia says she had an artwerky moment watching a facilitator rephrase everyone in the room to make himself look smart. DON’T DO THAT!!!!  it’s not Artwerky, it’s rude!  Instead, when you capture ideas on a flip chat, use the language people use.  Need to rephrase for clarity?  Ask permission.  

Really?  This is what our show notes look like?

Why not tie dye a button down?  Thanks Haig for a perfect metaphor for Dichotomy of self!

What else kids?

Show Notes: We talked about designer Dan Cassaro's fantastic comeback to today's modern monster- companies that want creatives to work for free for "exposure."  Here is a link to an interview with Dan.

We mentioned my ridiculously talented actress friend Austin Highsmith. She has been seen weeping beautifully all over TV and rocks it in Dolphin Tale 2. Check her out!

Here is a link to that book that Amelia's most kindly bar patron gave her as a graduation gift. It maybe scarred her for life.
