Experimenting with hexagonal grids. Unfortunately the nib is too wide on this piece and doesn’t adequately show the noise distortion.

Time to get back to it 🎉

I took a 10-month break from plotting after my third was born, but I’m recharged and ready to start creating again.

Should you delay this decision until you have more data?

Only if:

1. You can get more data 𝘢𝘯𝘥
2. Analysis will be accurate 𝘢𝘯𝘥
3. It will change the decision 𝘢𝘯𝘥
4. It will correctly predict the future.

Selling to Carol: Why targeting an ICP brings 10x more customers than you expected Targeting your “Ideal Customer Profile” (ICP) is the best way to differentiate and win sales, but does it limit your target market?

Your ICP is your narrowly-defined target customer.

But tons of other people will sign up anyway.

Good! But don’t get distracted by their requests or even their churn.

Why it happens like this:

We’ve stripped serendipity from the modern world.

We’ve constructed silos of mirrors.

Eject yourself.

Pause in the awkward pleasure of discomfort and reawaken to the unknown.

Haven’t had a chance to create anything new since last winter so these oldies will have to do 😅

It's all happening for us train enthusiasts (or is it just me?) as today marks 200 years since the Stockton and Darlington Railway opened in 1825 - the birth of the modern railway.
So here are some of the many railway linocuts I have done over the years - too many, I hear you say? Surely not… 😂
