Ramping Up for Module 01

We are working hard in the Studio this week scheduling calls and talking to all the
students who have registered for Alphachimp University's first course,

"How to Become a Rockstar Scribe at School or Work."

Thank you for all the great response!!

In preparation for the launch, we are taking input from the answers we have heard from you and processing them with a real-time workshop we are hosting in our studio for some local students.

We started our morning with a great "Welcome Wall" created by Lillian, age 7.

Here are four new students to Alphachimp University and their first assignment.
(And yes, one student is our very own daughter Lillian.)

Below are the drawings they made for their first exercise.




Lillian did research to create a visual to share with her team members
about what she learned about Ed Emberley.

After debriefing their lessons, they begin to write a summary of their lesson.

Thank You Neuland!!

We are getting ready for the launch of Alphahcimp Univesity's first course, "How to Become a Rockstar Scribe at School or Work". As part of our launch we are ordered five sets of Neuland Markers to give away.

We then asked if they would be willing to send us anything for our launch to give to our students. As a result of their generosity, we have an entire Neuland product area of gifts ready for our second course that will be launching this Summer...

Neuland offers a complete range of seminar and training materials – from high-quality markers to pinboards. All Neuland products are designed, manufactured and continuously improved at their own factory premises.

Their product know-how makes them one of the leading educational material suppliers in Germany.

I hope to make them a huge supplier to the WORLD!! Their products are AMAZING!!!

Check them out!!

New York - Time Lapse Video

Peter and I traveled to New York City last week for a

"Doodles In Motion" - Time Lapse Video

We filmed in the Silve Cup Studios which is where 30 Rock is filmed.

I was told that Tina Fey was in the building. OMG!

We watched a wrestling match in Times Square.

So many good shows on Broadway.

Peter looking good.

Diane feeling good. It was so incredible to be in New York again.

Here we are at the studio. We shot 5 hours of video in two days for a 3 minute animation.

Peter on the monitor.

In the shadows calling all the shots!

Thank you universe for amazing opportunities to draw and doodle for children!!

Below is one illustration from a series of three on sharing.

I named the little girls Lynn and Dee.

Lift Up Nashville!!

Dear Family and Friends,

Several artists in Nashville have come together to design posters for the "Lift Up Nashville" website to raise money to rebuild Nashville!! I was fortunate enough to be chosen as one of the artists. All the posters are awesome.

On May 1st, 2010... Storms rolled into Middle Tennessee that would bring over 20 inches of rain in some areas in just 2 days. The Cumberland River would rise over 51 feet, it's highest in over 80 years. The devastation is nearly immeasureable and early estimates are already at $1.5 Billion Dollars and climbing. So much has been said about the floods in Nashville and many people are taking action. This is my personal offering to those who would contribute to the victims of the flood. All proceeds will go directly to Flood Relief - Metro Nashville Disaster Response Fund.

Positive Discipline with Jane Nelsen

I am so amazed that I had a chance to work and train with Jane Nelsen. We have been working together for a few months and this was our first time to meet.

I look forward to working with her on all the projects we came up with together.
