twitter tooning
I always carry around a sketchpad and a pencil in my pocket to jot down cartoon ideas as they happen. Sometimes just a quote I like. Sometimes a situation I want to lampoon later. These sketchpads are my foundation. I flip through them later and ideas start to surface. I always try to have a few cartoon ideas percolating in my sketchpads.
I've been a little reluctant to try twitter, because I worried I would lose all self control. Like when my wife and I thought we would casually watch "24" and then found ourselves at 2 in the morning asking each other if we could watch just one more episode.
But then I realized twitter is kind of like my sketchpads. I can just jot down cartoon ideas as I go. And unlike my sketchpads, these rough ideas can be easily shared and added on by others. I see it as a form of wikitooning. So, I'm giving it a shot. Hopefully you like it. Follow me at tomfishburne if you'd like to peek in the sketchpads. Bring your own pencil.
I found useful perspective from Tim Ferriss in his post on "How to Use Twitter without Twitter Owning You." Top tip: "Don’t post unless you add more value than the attention you consume (both yours and others’)"
