Warming up the brain and the voice.
I sang a song to a singing singer who sings the song ’til it’s sung.
Try it. Do the thing.

#CreativeWarmUp I am listening to We Need Your Art by Amie McNee and todays chapter is relevant to a lot of us, giving ourselves permission to create our art. Not waiting for a gatekeeper to give us validation or permission to create our art. We coronate ourselves as artists.

I am a cartographer.

So I started this process of looking for pieces I liked and then analyzed them using XRAY as a means to collect inspiration.

So three key takeaways:
1.) Take a half hour or an hour or 15 minutes and Warm Up!
2.) Find inspiration and analyze it!

#GISChat #CreativeWarmUp XRAY Stands for a series of questions you should ask when you come across a new visualization

1.) What eXites you about this piece?
2.) what RULES does this piece follow?
3.) Anarchy: What rules do they just throw away?
4.) How might YOU apply this to your work? (4/5)

#GISChat #CreativeWarmUp When I originally started this. I had just read Chart Spark by Ali Torbin (who's a great Data Viz FYI) and in one of the chapters she asks the reader to: XRAY any visualizations that you come across. (3/5)

#GISChat I don't know where I was when I heard about this, but I remember talking or maybe attending a presentation and hearing about how artists need to warm up.

I consider cartography and geospatial science by extension to be my art.

Another #YouTube short of some 5 minute sketches. Since it looks like TikTok is done for, I suppose I'll direct people here instead:
