My FB has been noticeably Thai related lately, but that just might change.
I’ve been recording conversations and illustrating dialogue since November 23, 2007, when a young lady stopped me one evening in the Chicago loop and asked me for a cigarette. Apologizing for not being a smoker, she snapped her finger and said, “ahh, you look like the right type.” I went home and illustrated her words,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and now have over 2000 drawings to date.

Each day,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I listen in and write down dialogue I hear spoken around me from honest-to-gosh real folks. At the end of the day, I turn my collected text into a stack of illustrations. I post one a day on my blog: YouLookLikeTheRightType.blogspot.com. Twenty-four hours later, the cycle begins again.
It’s interesting to me how non-related conversations suddenly find connections and start speaking to each other from drawing to drawing. The extension of the digital blog as a curated space for many of the illustrations contrasts with their hand drawn, hands-dirty conception; it sort of speaks about our need for “just the basics” amidst all things complex.

This morning I woke up to a message from Mark Addison Smith, a graphic designer and educator working in Chicago.
