Creator's Challenge: Emerging Vision Board
Collect images that feel like you. Rip them into pieces and assemble on a vision board, not aiming for anything realistic. Then paint or draw the essence of what you have created.

Bio & Intro
Brian Jones is Scenic and lighting design professor and former department chair of theatre and dance at IUP, my undergrad. Brian has designed scenery and lighting for more than 200 productions across the nation, while holding a full teaching load. He’s my former professor!

Brian’s the Founding executive director of Footlight Players youth theatre program. And most relevant to this episode, Brian is the founding owner of The Artists hand gallery and espresso bar. At the time of this recording I am in town visiting my family for the holidays and stopped by to do my very first in person podcast episode from the artist's hand so you will hear espresso machines and all the activity of a working Cafe and gallery enjoy the soundscape as part of this episode.

Quote: 

On Commitment, by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

Until one is committed, there is always hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative and creation, there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising to one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance which no one could have dreamed would come her way. Whatever you can do or dream you can begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.
