As I posted my last post I realized that was the second Jon who's work I had made mention to on this blog.
If you can recall, the first Jon was Jonathan Harris. See collects stories for a recent video of his and I would also encourage you to explore We Feel Fine (this one works better for faster connections). Google him and I'm sure you'll find lots more of his stuff. You can use my Google Button if you want!
The last post was about Jonathan Ben-Tovim and his encoder rings. I won't post a link here because obviously it's right below.
I have a third Jon now to mention. His name is Jonathan Foster. He is an artist who's work I have recently fallen in love with while researching an art project. I'm just going to put a link here and you can check him out yourself if your interested. The link: http://www.jonfoster.com/

A Life Recorded
One of my favourite websites is www.onefloorup.com. It's basically a collection of good ideas. I visited it today and through it I found out about a guy named Jonathan Harris. He's a really cool guy. Do a search on him.
This is the video that I watched of his. It really intrigued me. I'd watch if I were you, maybe, depending on who you are. I really liked it. It's rather long. (20min approx.)
I think what I would like to do, after I've run out of paper in my journal and after I finish my current sketchbook, I would like to merge those two things together into one. Maybe this blog too, by using the print screen button of mine, y'know. And then I would literally print it off and pasting it into my sketchbook.
I imagine this merging to take shape into some kind of huge book, always with me. That idea really fascinates me. Like a really big sketchbook filled with feeling and expression. A life recorded through writings and drawings. Something someone can look through and get a really good glimpse of who I am. See my personality on paper. It would be the kind of thing to look through to find an honest testimony to the way I've lived after I die. (Hopefully not anytime soon!)
