"Using" any of this material as your own is silly, rude, and illegal. And your brain will shrivel up and you shall be forced to draw stick figures, badly, the rest of your days. Now go CREATE! :: I am spending the next few days reorganizing my studio (home office) and cleaning out files in my Mac--including purging a LOT of "stuff" in my email files. FEELS GREAT to toss, purge, delete, trash, and clarify.

Hope to find an hour or two each week (from now on) to keep things tiddy-ish. I already do a bit of that: start the day trashing all the junk in my eMail IN-BOX and double check and clear out Junk Mail file. All this purging rarely feels "productive" (as in, "look what I made or DID"), but it supports productivity enormously . I am huge believer in being able to look out of any window while seated at your desk, workstation. DO NOT sit with your back to the window. It's not a crime, but...it is a sin. I once got five out of seven vice presidents, in a row of offices with huge windows to the out of doors, to rearrange their desks to NOT be sitting—as they had for YEARS ("as long as I can remeber we've all done this")—so they could look out doors, easily.
