Hey, Don... I feel your pain. So easy to get distracted now days. I've come to sort of embrace it. I try to focus on my main objective, type design right now, but there are so many things I'm interested in. And I find these other things give me a different and useful perspective on my main pursuit. Usually... They can sometimes get distracting too but what are you gonna do?

Hey Rob, yes, it's easy to get distracted and even easier to be my own distractor :-) However, as I figure out what I'm gonna do, I'll share that too. At your end, I'm just really discovering type design for the first time, and you do great stuff. Clarice is a classic one. Love your art as well. Yeah, looks like you have similar "distractions"!

Your piece resonates with me, Donn... especially the question of how much to concentrate on one's highest priority and how much to pursue other interests. I believe there can be creative cross-pollination among different endeavors. Also that play can stimulate our creativity, as well as being fun.

Thank you Lorna. I agree, in fact I think cross-pollination is extremely valuable. How much is a separate question though.. and the answer quite probably varies from person to person.
