Update

Hello Friends... and random blog explorers. For those of you who follow my blog, you know that I've taken a little break in my writing to pursue my budding career as a famous Stick Figure Artist. 

Now I know what you're thinking... why Stick Figures? 

Well...

...for quality thinking to arise we need people who would be equally and unabashedly comfortable looking for ideas in the simple lines, circles, and geometric shapes inherent in the making of a Stick Figure, and who can continually guide viewers in that endless labyrinth of stances that make up the stuff of thinking; who have the ability to bring out in something as simple as a Stick Figure the logical assumptions that serve as the foundation for those linkages.

In other words, I like thinking about Stick Figures. In fact, some of my best friends are Stick Figures, and for better or worse, they serve as my critical guide and conscience. There is something about Stick Figures that has struck a cord with me; be it their whimsical stylization, their BIG RED HEART, 

or the fluidity of their lines; the more I draw them, the more animated they become. 

At first blush the connection between Stick Figures, humor, and thinking might seem a bit odd: a highly unusual linkage... but if you’re anything like me, you’re probably bored by the standard linkages one makes while standing in line at Whole Foods and looking for something different upon which to feast your brain. After all, novelty and humor are the brain’s aphrodisiacs.
