Chattering Class alert: Chattering 101 with PDS
As a chattering champ, I have would like to announce a trifecta. This October I'll be communicating with communicators about communication. To which I can only add "Dude!"
The group I'll be addressing is Alaska Professional Communicators. The summary of my presentation is:
Some of you will recognize this as my stump speech, and you are excused. The talk will be at the regularly held group luncheon 11:30 a.m., October 1 at the Golden Lion Hotel, 1000 East 36th Avenue, Anchorage
Lunch: members $16; guests of members $18; others $20
The group I'll be addressing is Alaska Professional Communicators. The summary of my presentation is:
Former Daily News cartoonist Peter Dunlap-Shohl tells how being cornered by a slowly debilitating disease paradoxically pushed him beyond his self-created limits into a new landscape of possibility. Peter will take you on a multi-media tour of that landscape ranging from his work at the Daily News to his post-Daily News adventures in blogging and animated video.

Latest Project: 1 of 5 pages from Sarah Hurst's graphic novel of Alaska history
Just finished my part of this inspired idea from Sarah Hurst. Sarah had the notion of turning a play she wrote about Alaska history into a graphic novel. Then, with focus and energy that I can only wonder at, she went out and came up with an Alaska Humanities Forum grant to actually pay a host of contributing artists for their work. Among the other artists involved: Lee Post and (last time I checked) Duke Russell.
Thanks to Sarah and the Rasmuson Foundation for this chance to try something new!
