Blogger A Day Call: Hello is Tony there?

Yesterday, I heard Tony D. Clark’s voice for the very first time! Today I feel good about saying I think he’s a friend of mine. Maybe part of that’s because he’s been reading Sucessful-Blog since before I was here. Immediately we were talking about good stuff.

He told me about jobs he had — drawing his cartoons on surfboards and t-shirts and working in bookstores, among others. He decided he liked having clients better than having a boss.

I told him how having three daughters meant that he had been hit by the “curse of the movers.” The curse is one my friends and I made up iwhen we were 20. It says that guys who are wild men in college should grow up to only have daughters.

The conversation was mostly about creativity. We shared thoughts on how artists, writers, and others have to invest personally to do creative work and then have to step back and let the work go. We both like the collaboration part of working with a team — how ideas change when they have everyone’s view. Tony said that his cartoons are still his favorite thing to do.

Boy, time sure flew while we were talking.

    Thanks Liz – I’m glad to call you a friend as well. I really enjoyed talking with you. My wife got a kick out of the “curse of the movers.” On the plus side, I know what to look for and how to recognize the BS when the hounds come a callin’ 🙂

    I love hanging out here at the blog “where everybody knows your name.” 😉

    Hey Char – Thanks for the kind words.

    Great looking blog. One of the best I’ve seen and it fits the content perfectly. You can tell there is a lot of talent and effort behind it.

    I looked up and saw someone else mentioned talent also. It just comes shining through.

    Awww…I LOVE TOny! His blog is too cool and his art makes it a fun place to pop in for a mid-day “boost”. I’m not surprised he was as cool over the phone as he is on his blog!

    Let me pile on and say Tony’s definitely one BAD SOB! 😉

    Oh, and I hadn’t heard about that curse. Maybe it’s somehow subliminally why Gorgeous and I decided not to have children…
