Thoughts from Atlanta

Ponderings
I have been doing a lot of washing the dust off of my every day life these past couple weeks — creating artwork for a truly fun and low-stress show. I am now in Atlanta at DragonCon … a show of monumental proportions where creativity is unleashed in nearly limitless ways and shown off to the over 50,000 attendees. Yes, it is a geek show. Fantasy, science fiction, horror, speculative and established sciences and tons and tons of costuming. This market is where I got my polymer career off the ground.
Although my work has changed and doesn’t fit this market so much anymore, I have really come to appreciate the incredible depth and breadth of the talent in this community. They also have such an appreciation for polymer and what it can do. I present several talks on polymer each year here with attendees literally spilling out the door at each one. These people really know how to shake off the dust of every day life and get creative!
