I drew her while she was speaking on a panel; she is a walking, talking mix of passion and connectivity, and timing. Mila is the embodiment of serendipity.
Everyone knows someone who brings people together. Who is that person in your life?

My FIRST Toon Swag.
This was my first ever toon swag: my friend Mila Araujo, onstage at the 140MTL, which she produced here in Montreal as a part of Jeff Pulver's 140Conf series, earlier this year.

I Draw YOU - @susanborst
After tweeting via #UsGuys for a little over a year, I finally met @susanborst IRL; we were both speakers at the #140conf in Montreal this May.
A consummate social-media professional, Susan is a world-class combination of intelligence, beauty, and humor. She's a high-level critical thinker and a leader of thoughts. Also, she enjoys a nice cool glass of Chardonnay. It goes without saying that she is a fan of my work. Oh...did I just say it? Oh well!
Sometimes I just gotta draw the people that I meet.
And now please fill in the thought balloon: what do "Thought Leaders" think about?

The Animation of Empathy.
Sometimes I like to geek out with social media people. Yesterday I spoke at the "State Of Now" 140 Conference here in Montreal, or #140MTL.
So here's ten minutes of me talking about "The Animation of Empathy" wherein I use my drawings to get the audience to do funny deeply meaningful things.
The 140Conf series was created by Jeff Pulver and they typically attract gatherings of inspirational speakers from across the planet. Montreal's 140 was no exception; produced by Mila Araujo from Ogilvy & Ogilvy Insurance (the main event sponsor), the speaker lineup she curated was nothing less than spectacular. I was actually nervous...I hope it doesn't show.
If you're interested in social media for marketing, charitable causes, business management, human resources, or just want to be inspired, you can check out the videos here. The hi-lights for me personally were the humorous and direct Jeanine Morber's "what do I want to share, who do I want to reach and where are they?"; the impressive Deb Weinstein "social media is 24/7" and what companies should not do in a crisis; and Ted Curtin's disarming "courage to be humble" where he quotes Mr. Rogers' philosophy of 'deep and simple' to describe the importance of authenticity in one's online voice. Beautiful.
Oh and the all new SeeSaw app was launched at the conference, which is a new way of viewing and saving twitter convos and images - it's mesmerizing.
I met (and hugged) some amazing people at this event and I can't wait for the next one.
Also? BEWARE OF RAGING ZOMBIE TEDDY BEARS.

Twitter, the idea incubator. #140MTL
The first thing you notice about Twitter, is all the voices.
People talk about all kinds of things in 140 characters or less.
Some connect with great depth and share their ideas...
Ideas materialize into real life events and often effect actual change.
When you think about it, it's actually pretty amazing.
On May 15th, the #140 Conference will take place in Montreal, at the exquisite Excentris.
Over 30 spectacular speakers will share their thoughts about social media and the great idea incubator that is Twitter. I'm honoured and humbled to be one of them!
Business, entrepreneurs, managers, and those seeking to widen their perspective on social media, this is a "do not miss" event. Register for the #140MTL here.
