In honor of PAUL KLEE's bday, I share his 'Pine' Tree, 1932.
Upon his return from Tunisia, he said, “Color possesses me. I don't have to pursue it. It will possess me always, I know it. That is the meaning of this happy hour: Color and I are one. I am a painter.”

Klee created over 10,000 works. We only see about 10 percent of any artists work. But it takes the other 90 percent to get there.

This is so true about small business. It’s so FUN to START. Then the discipline begins. It’s just SO DAILY. The monkey wrenches. The metamorphosis that will inevitably take place. This is why entrepreneurs must have a purpose bigger than themselves. Normal supplies of energy will run out.

Pardon the butcher of Edvard's name. His name is pronounced Moonk--not Moonch. I have heard people say it both ways. “Moonk”, I believe, is correct. But, when I made up the poem (above), “Moonch” works better because it rhymed with "loonch". (You have to have a mind like mine! Try to keep up!)

Your identity design is a tool you will use for many yrs. It is a FLAG that explains what you are all about. It tells potential clients what they can expect, & if you are well-managed––or NOT––as the case may be. What is the value of any other tool you use for 5+ yrs?? @designonething.bsky.social

This is underwhelming following last year's anemic purple. WHITE. In other words, non-committal, not enough of anything to be judged. Safe, unless you think too hard about it. Sorta like answering the question, 'what is your favorite color?' with 'clear'.
