LIVE SESSION TOMORROW March 25! with Lee White

[LauraA]

That was a really useful session last night! I am starting my morning with the intention of focusing on design and not descending too quickly into details, since I think in line, more like David. In my case, however, and unlike David, I know it is slowing me down and hurting my design sense. The "polishing turds" comment was memorable and on point!

This morning I read about all the tornadoes in the southern US, so I'm glad you were safe, @Lee-White!

I have one question: I kept hearing David read questions and comments aloud that I never saw, ranging from where people were from to technical questions. Towards the end I saw two of the question appear in the question box, and a couple more in the chat, but there must have been about 20 or more such questions. At one point I thought they must be coming from FB, but this session wasn't on FB. Was I having a technical glitch? I realize this is mostly a distraction on my part and not essential to the experience, but it was a bit disorienting I confess I spent too much time trying to figure it out.

I started this morning with Lee's YouTube video "Get Sh*t Done" and now I'm off to do just that, hopefully!

Dang it! I missed it! Just couldn't keep my eyes open last night. I love seeing Lee's and David's sessions! When can we expect the recording up?

[Lee White]

@LauraA I was seeing the ones david was asking about. some people may have sent their questions in the chat to "panelist only" which can sometimes be a default unless you change it for everyone to see it.

[LauraA]

@Lee-White Ah, that probably explains it!

[Lee White]

btw, for those that were in attendance, here is what I mentioned being on my dining room table vs. what I drew. ![IMG_5528.jpeg] Illustration is easy, just draw what is on your table! lol! Too bad I didn't notice this until after I was done with the illustration!

[davidhohn]

@LauraA @Lee-White Oh no! Did I miss questions‽ (This is my nightmare!)

Yes, I was tracking the chat. Even taking screen shots of questions that I wanted to make sure we answered but though it more appropriate to hold off until the end.
About half way through I saw the Q&A section, but on my end there was never more than 6 questions in there and a number were repeated in the chat (you guys caught on that I wasn't tracking the Q&A section earlier than I did!)

If I'm (ever) asked back again to moderate I'll be sure to specify the best way to interact so that no one gets left out!

[davidhohn]

@Lee-White The resemblance is UNCANNY!
Right down to a bunch of "dead" plants and the blue-green Alvin cutting mat /floor rug!

Weird what can stick in your brain.

[lmrush]

Ah missed it is it recorded can we watch it back?

[K.Flagg]

@davidhohn I'm really glad I'm not the only one that has an Alvin mat on my kitchen table lol

[Lee White]

@K-Flagg yea, we try to take it off of the dining room table, but it just ends up there again a few hours later. Ahhh, the life of an illustrator!

[davidhohn]

@Lee-White Now I'm just picturing a green cutting mat inching it's way around your house. Toy story style!

[LauraA]

@davidhohn Oh no! I didn't see that you left out any questions. It was the opposite--I didn't ever see most of the questions that you were answering, and so I thought maybe you had access to some other chat or Q & A. I think people using the "respond to panelists" option is likely the explanation. I've done that myself, because Zoom chat usually is set "respond to panelists" until one changes it, and it's easy not to notice it.

Now I'm feeling kind of like I obsessive, oops! Both of you did a great job and it was a particularly fun session!

And Lee, it doesn't matter that the plants were from your own dining room table. It was how you interpreted them (apparently subconsciously) according to the theme that counts. Though that is pretty hilarious that you didn't even realize know you had done so.

[Asyas_illos]

Yes I didn’t realize I had it set to panelists only I changed it to panelists and attendees but every time I chimed in it would automatically reset so I had to keep switching back over manually and I probably missed it a few times. Wonder if there is a way to remedy this...

[Mara Price]
