Today I spent much of the day trading quips, ideas and demos with Vi Hart. And maybe a little scotch.
As the words and visuals went back and forth between us, I realized that she and I share a certain technique. We both look with great seriousness upon the concepts and inspirations that we first thought about as children, and use them in our work.
Of course that is not always an easy thing to do when you are a grownup, surrounded daily by the voices and thoughts of grownups. But it’s not impossible.
And I find that talking with Vi makes it a lot easier.
