When you work in advertising, or any creative field for that matter, your creative powers are greatly influenced by what you do outside of work. You need to create stuff for yourself, then put it out there. Set and forget. That’s why I write the SHNoos, and why I made the following video.

I am not a professional (as the sound quality of my voice over will demonstrate), but I think it showcases something that has influenced me lately. For your viewing and listening pleasure, please enjoy Zephyr, the movie.

Introducing, my new blog. I started this one simply because leaving POKE is going to leave a huge blogging hole in my heart. Not Yellow, Chicken is a place for creativity and all things that inspire, be that digital, art, photography, animation, technology or just something cool.

It’s also a place where I’ll hopefully give updates on the progress of my novel and other random creative projects I’m planning.

pokeblogI started the blog at Poke (called the The Poke with No Name.) It’s now been incorporated into the main website, but you can still access some words of wisdom at the archived site.

Some sample posts:

The art of the overshare, Finding your presentation sweet spot, Who will put the smart back in SmartPhone?, and Twitter ’til you twitch.

“What are you doing these days? Where are you? Why do you never write?”

I created the Noos as the lazy girl’s way of answering those emails in one mailing list. It’s been through a few looks, from the “I’m learning HTML“, to “I’ve been dabbling in Flash navs“, before ending at this. Design wise, it makes me sad. But it’s simple. The name? Well, I’m a bit of a Dylan nut, I’m homesick from time-to-time, and the Noos is a play on my nickname Noodle, and the way Americans pronounce News. TMI? Prob’ly.
