== World Sketchnote Day and Upcoming Events ==


'''Myke Rohde:''' Well, January 11th is sort of, we've decided that's World Sketchnote Day. So, we just celebrate sketchnoting and post it up. Someone picked January 11th because it looked like three pencils standing up one, one, one. So, that was about the level of thinking. It was just sort of fun.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' That's my level of thinking.

'''Myke Rohde:''' I love it. Yeah, so that's coming up in January on the 11th. And then it sounds like there's something called the International Sketchnote Camp, which is this community of sketchnoters that gathers together. They teach each other. It's super welcoming and friendly and family. It was in Poland this last year, in Western Poland. And I hear that it's going someplace this coming year. I don't know where it's going yet or I can't share it. But that's coming in probably next fall, September, August, September. So, we're pretty excited about that coming. And the other thing I could say is the next live workshop that I'm planning is how I create icons.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Oh, nice.

'''Myke Rohde:''' These workshops are basically my approach and the way that I do the work that I do. I sort of take you inside my thinking and deconstruct it. So, I'm going to deconstruct like how do I do icons? Where do I do my research? How do I gather them together? And also talking a little bit about metaphors. That's coming sometime early in 2023. I'm just starting the planning for that. So, that'll be fun if you want to see what the live workshop looks like. And, of course, you can go to my website and buy the recordings of the past ones if you're into that.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Love it. Love it. All right, Myke. Well, we'll have to not wait 10 years to do this again. That's for sure. Maybe you'll have to get me out to maybe one day I'll come watch one of your classes and do Brad's sketchnoting during that. And that would be fun. There we go. We could do that. So, thanks so much. Where can everyone find you online? I'll have a bunch of links in the show notes to find, you know, all Myke's websites, the sketchnote handbook, the ideobook, all the fun stuff we talked about today. Anything else you want to plug? Twitter, Instagram, any of that fun stuff?

'''Myke Rohde:''' I would say the two places I would recommend is just roadesign.com, my site. That's where all the books and all the stuff I'm up to is at. And I hang out mostly on Instagram just because it's visual. So, it's, again, roadesign there. If you look for me, I'm roadesign pretty much everywhere. If I've grabbed some place, even like a mastodon or someplace, I've got that handle sort of reserved. So, that's a good way to find me.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I'm working that path, too. All right. Well, we appreciate you. And everyone can find me. I'm at penaddict.com. And you can find all my links to everything there. And I really appreciate you, Myke, spending some time with me today to talk about sketchnoting. And we'll talk to you again soon.

'''Myke Rohde:''' Thanks.
