Great job on the cups you drew yesterday, everyone! I so delight in checking out #myGTSprep images! Are you enjoying this? I hope so!
I bought the tea tin in Chinatown NYC in 1985 for an illustration I was commissioned to do on ‘A Tree Grows in Brooklyn’ for San Francisco Focus Magazine. Remember, there was no internet then. We actually went places to do research!
Here’s the GTS Prep, Number 2:
I can’t tell you why this will be important for the Global Talent Search, but I want you to photograph and post packages that you see around you in your life today that appeal to you. They might be gum wrappers, soap packaging, soup cans, coffee bean packages, shoe boxes, etc. Shoot products that you find around your house or in your travels. I’m sure we’re going to rock social media with this one!
Look for interesting typography, gorgeous color palettes, and anything else that captivates you.
Please share your work with us #myGTSprep!

I am so eager to see what you shoot! There are so many ways to do research for your art, and looking around your environment is a powerful way to glean inspiration. I hope you enjoy the pursuit. Respect your mind. Respect your fascinations.
