More specifically how he helped structure his company, Liip, and some of the big and small things that can make a huge difference in defining the workspace. Below are a few drawings I did while there. In keeping with the spirit of 'Work', i'm showing my workspace, the sketchbook. Oftentimes when I'm thinking through a visual idea I use post-its to expand or play with ideas without having to turn the page. One idea leads to another, organically.<br />
I started with a warm-up of portraits. And when the talk began I began to play with the ideas he was speaking about.<br />
In the end, I started to play with the idea of a company being structured like a horizontal totem pole, Everybody has a role/symbol, and are integrated in such a way that everybody is on the same level.<br />

On Friday, July 10th, Creative Mornings Geneva hosted Hadi Barkat to speak about collaboration (http://creativemornings.com/talks/hadi-barkat). Every time I go I help set up and then do some drawings. What you see here are the people arriving, signing in, mixing amongst each other, and then a few drawings of the talk. I hope you enjoy them.</div>

So, I met this guy riding my bike at the local velodrome, and he introduced me to a guy who used to art direct at Saatchi&Saatchi here in Geneva, who put me touch with his writing partner, who asked me to do some spec portraiture for a brochure he was doing for the Lausasanne Orchestra (he proposed my portraiture drawing instead of the normal photography), and nothing happened for a couple months until I received a phone call from a guy who spoke to the designer that my friend was working with on the Lausanne job, complaining that he had looked at 200 illustrators and no one had a line he liked, so this Lausanne Orchestra designer said, 'I saw a guys work who might have what you're looking for. We didn't use him, but maybe you'll like his stuff'. Which leads to my getting a call asking if I'd like to do illustrations for Caran d'Ache.<br />
It was such a dream and honor to do this job. I've been happily using their products for over 20 years. What I wanted to do here is show some of the expression and personality that using Caran d'Ache can help people unleash; that the arena that their product inhabits is limitless.<br />
I was told that Caran d'Ache feel that this is one of their best brochures. Fingers are crossed that I can do more work with them, and maybe even a factory tour because it's made locally! That would be cool.<br />
But the real lesson from this experience is that I should ride my bicycle more. Who knows who I'll meet next?<br />
Here are are a few spreads from the brochure. It's advertising their gift boxes, and I was told is being distributed by sales reps.<br />

I do enjoy the evolution of habits. Sometimes I only want to draw in many thin lines, other days few, and yet another moment a single thick line line where I might have another day used plenty. There is also something very enjoyable in the study, the breaking of a habitual way that a face is drawn (first nose, then another day first lips or the right eye).<br />
Usually I make faces on the iphone. The other day, I saw a woman with a pendulous heavy body leaning weighted upon her thighs. Which then led to drawing some other full figures while standing at the local train station. A joyous woman swung by, and then a young woman in tights with a large bag on her shoulders stopped to look at the train ticker.<br />

I've been quite busy the past few months of blogging and tweeting inactivity. I do have a few things that I'll be sharing over the next few weeks. Some Israel drawings, a few portraits, some oil paintings of hands, and tomorrow I'll be live drawing the TEDxCERN event. It will be very exciting and fun. I'll be at the back of a room of 1,000 people all seated in a giant tent on the CERN campus, drawing the ideas of the speakers as they're spoken. A much more cerebral reportage than I'm accustomed to. This should be an incredible challenge, as well as a lot of fun. There won't be any chances to correct my work, so it will all be out there, my thoughts and interpretations, in the moment. And then at each break 1,000 people stream past my work and see what was just drawn. No pressure! I hope that I have fun, that this jet-lag clears up a little more, and that everyone enjoys what I create. Check it out at my twitter account, @Millerocity and TEDxCERN @TEDxCERN. The show begins at 1:30pm and ends at 5:30 central european time (NYC friends, subtract 6 hours). We'll see if we can link it to my Facebook as well for those who know me there.<br />
<br />
Until then, here are some portraits that I drew on my iPhone. It's great fun to be able to think and study via different pathways. Sometimes working through a big idea or story, other times a portrait or 4 of people on a train.<br />

The holidays are over, but drawings still remain in my phone, which I'd like to share. While in Zagreb, we went to a church to hear choral singing. While sitting in the hard wooden pews, I decided to do a few drawings. Working within the limitations of a small screen made it really conducive to a faster, more impressionistic approach. Next week I'll post some portraits I did there.</div>

One, entitled "The First Red Rose", is based on the story of how the first red rose was created by a nightingale singing through the night, staying awake by leaning against a thorn. The other is a variation from my carousel studies, and I entitled it "The Second Red Rose". Today I was showing a friend around the exhibit, and I took some shots to give you all a visual of what it's like.<br />

This morning I shared a few of my iPhone drawings with them, and I'd like to repost what I shared there, here.<br />

This blog started with an iphone, and my Q train commute to work. The iphone was my brother's old phone, and wasn't connected to a network. It was there only for drawing. On days I didn't bike to work, I'd stand or sit, and surreptitiously draw my fellow commuters. I was briefly back in the states last week, and again spent some time on the subways, drawing on my iphone. This time, it was my father's old iphone, and it's been unlocked so it actually now is used as my European network phone, too. </div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
NYC is notorious for not feeling sacred or sentimental about structures. I'd say that in the picture of NYC, the structures are the frame, and the people are the content. Here are a few faces from the NYC subways, the people that are the brick and mortar of NYC, drawn with thumb and iphone.</div>

It seems that means 5-10 minutes of sun breaking through moody shrouded skies. Maybe I'm overstating things a little bit. One day did have an hour of sun. Maybe this was all appropriate, though. Dresden has a rich history, known for many years as the "jewel box" along the Elbe, rich in cultural and economic life, adorned with rococo joy underneath heavy wide skies. More recently, it's known for the Allied bombing in the final part of WW2 that destroyed the city and its mostly civilian inhabitants in a firestorm of destruction. Most Americans became familiar with it through Kurt Vonnegut's book 'Slaughterhouse Five'. After the war, this city became part of Eastern Germany, and had its old town reconstructed to look mostly like it was before. So, what's old is new, and what's new is old. Often one old block next to a new one, upon dirt that includes the incinerated bones of former inhabitants. So, for them to say a brooding day is 'partly sunny' is quite optimistic of Dresden. That Germany is now again the strongest economy in Europe also helps the sun shine on this quiet city.<br />

In a converted factory in the Jonction neighborhood of Geneva, surrounded by public transport bus storage, gypsies under a bridge, fellow artists and and the converging waters of the Rhone and Arve, I paint and draw and think (and occasionally hunt for jobs online with wifi). After joining the Atelier Act-Art and getting the space, I then had to think about a project to fill the space and time.<br />
Carousels.They are like time machines to me, spinning to the past, to the possible, to the now. I remember the carousels of my childhood. There was one in this little mall on Old Georgetown Road in downtown Bethesda, a country fair style carousel. The Dentzel in Glen Echo Park. And then, when I was in college and began studying with David Passalacqua, a rekindled enjoyment began. I then also understood its rich history, how it was a war machine that became a child's plaything. How immigrants from Italy and Germany and other parts of Europe, mostly former cabinet makers, came to America and then carved carousels. How the first carousel is dated back to Babylonian times. And then, years later, I encountered the Alka in Croatia, a living history tournament of knights, a real, true carousel.<br />
I want to create something that is both personal and reaches out to others, sparking enjoyment and fascination. What better vehicle than a carousel. These low-res iphone pics below show the first steps of my ideas for a carousel. Whether it will ever be actually built does not matter to me. Right now, I just want to play, to enjoy, and hope that others enjoy the fantasy of what I'm creating, a carousel of transformation.<br />

When my wife and I were spending time with her family there this summer, we wandered for a few days to the town of Komiza on the distant island of Vis. Each day we spent hours swimming in the calm salty waters. At night, while most people promenaded through the small town, we returned to the beach and swam at night, when all colors saturated into each other and the waves sound deeper as they rolled up and down the smooth rocky beach.<br />

The knights are clothed in historical uniforms, the horses draped in finery, stepping high and proud through an admiring crowd. The band plays. The trumpet blares. The crowd holds their breath as the knight thunders toward the alka. A roar through the crowd, a cannon blast— u sridu! — 3 points!<br />
<br />
I was again standing toward the start of their run, this time because we would have needed tickets for the bleachers. That said, I really do prefer it there. I don't catch the dignitaries and the moment of pierced alka, but I do witness other aspects that are wonderful, such as those moments of tremendous potential energy before the horse sprints down the dirt path, or the knights in repose. It's the cheap seats, but rich in liveliness and earthy joy.<br />
<br />
And, when it's all over, we then sprint down the path and into town, to sit at a cafÄ— and toast the knights one last time.<br />

It followed the same structure as the prior day - the same pageantry, processions, and colors except for a slightly larger monetary prize and 3.11 meter bolt of fine red cloth, rather than the shorter bolt of green cloth given to the prior days winner.<br />
I stood in a different place as well, closer to the start of the run, rather than in the stands near the alka that is lanced. Where I stood today had revealed a different chapter of the story. There, I saw the knights as the waited for the trumpet to blare and their name announced. Children would hold the waiting horses, and then when the time approached for their run, some knights would ride in circles around the Sinjska alka statue at the head of the path, while others would sit and relax, only getting up at the last moment. There was no rhyme or reason as to which was the better method. The man who won was one of the guys relaxing, cool as a cucumber, until the last moment. It worked wonders for him - of three runs, twice hit lanced the alka right in the center.<br />
In less than an hour I leave for the final final day of the festival, when the knights dress in the fanciest clothes, replicating the uniforms of the soldiers 298 years ago. It's 37 degrees celsius outside right now. I think it's a good guess that tonight a lot of beer will be drunk by the glorius Alka sinjska knights.<br />
<br />
I shot these drawings on my ipad, so the quality is a bit weak. When I'm back in Geneva, I'll make some higher quality scans and create an album on my viewbook site. I have to go now - time to prepare for Sinjska alka!<br />

I'm right now vacationing with Ana in Croatia, in a little farming village where her father was raised. Not too far away, in the city of Sinj (pronounces 'seen'), is an amazing event called Alka. Commemorating a victory in battle over the Turks almost 300 years ago, they hold a 3-day 'tournament of knights' on the very place where the battle was fought. Only men who are born there and can can trace ancestry to a soldier who fought in the battle can be selected to participate. It's living history, and directly related to the origins of the carousel. Coming from America, and having enjoyed carousels since I was a small child, that link allows me a portal through which I can relate to this spectacle.<br />
<div>
I drew it last year, and Ana's mother kindly drove us there today to view it again. Here is a link to what I did last year, where I also include some carousel drawings to display the connection.</div>

Something is pulled or strained, on the outside just behind the ankle after hiking down a steep mountain. Too much steep road on the way to Montreaux. It would have been better to stick to the paths and then hop onto a train when the road started. I'm not bothering to see a doctor because they'll tell me to do what I've already been doing (rest, ice, compression, elevate), and then charge me a thousand franc's. Over the past 6 days I've started to see improvement, so hopefully I'll be cycling and running again relatively soon.<br />
The upside to all of this is that I've been drawing on the iphone more often. Here are a few of the people on the trams and busses fortunate enough to sit in front of me.<br />

These were primarily done when I was riding the NYC subways. But, now that I live in a place without a subway, my infrequent postings have become even more sparse. This also meant that some of the other stuff I create doesn't get shared here. So, I'm going to expand the blog with more of my work, and I'll begin with some work I did in Catalonia recently.<br />
After a long, shrouded winter in Geneva, it was very nice to go someplace sunny and warm. The rocky cliffs, churning clear waters, and bold sun created a graphic panorama that was a pleasure to walk through. The strong beauty of the landscape was then spiced by the pleasure of seeing so many topless sunbathers. It was like witnessing the Ages of Woman through breasts, from lively youth to emptied old age.<br />
I hope you enjoy these drawings. I'm going to add a few here, but if you want to see more, click on this link: <a href="http://nathanielmiller.viewbook.com/album/costabravacatalonia" target="_blank">http://nathanielmiller.viewbook.com/album/costabravacatalonia</a><br />

Recently, I returned to NYC for 2 week visit. It was nice to return to my city, and in ways it felt like I'd never left. Most of my time was spent going through the storage locker, and other whatnot related to my move. Here are a few people I saw while riding the Q train. </div>

I've moved to Geneva, and have done a fair amount of travel. But what I haven't done is ride a subway, which is where I tended to do most of my iphone portraits while living in NYC. I may have to expand this blog a little bit, and put up more of my work. A scanner will arrive here in a few weeks, and that should be remedy that problem. Until then, I do have a few iPhone portraits that I can share. Here are a few from my time in Croatia with Ana's family in the pretty small village of Bisko. These were done while sitting under a chestnut tree as the family talked about... well, I have no idea, because I don't understand the language, except for a couple words. The first image is the local priest, who at first meeting seems like another local dude hanging out, shooting the breeze with the fella's. I forget who the 2nd image is. The third and fourth images are of a man who is afraid of letting people know how old he is - when people wish him 'happy birthday', he becomes very defensive, which causes a lot of comedy. The final one is Ana's father, who relishes his time there so much. I can assure you that shortly after the moment of this drawing, there was a witty comment and smile.<br />

I'm leaving my job after 6 years, and hopping on an airplane for Ecuador where through photography and drawing I'll be documenting the work of a surgical mission ( http://ismission.org/ ). And then I do my final preparations for the move to Switzerland, hopefully by the end of May. But, until then, I'd like to share a few portraits I recently did. I wonder if they will change after I've moved to Europe. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Some very exciting things are happening, transitions and progress. As many of you know, I got married one month ago. Next up: leaving my job of the last 6 years, a week and a half in Ecuador to document the work of a surgical charity, the opening of a group show at Mystic Seaport, emptying my apartment, moving to Geneva, learning a language and, greatest of all, spending all my days being in the same time zone as my wonderful wife. So, in honor of life transitions, I have here a couple images that were progressively saved and adjusted as I was drawing them.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

A downside to cycling to work is that I'm not drawing on the subway. As the weather improves and I ride to work more often, the drawings will be a rainy day event. The weather is just starting to have hints of the Spring around the corner. But it hasn't taken full hold yet. It's slowly waking. So, from last week and earlier this week, a selection of 4 drawings, 2 awake, 2 asleep, from my wonderful Q.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

A few short years ago it was the most diverse zip code in America, which I think is a great honor. I think it was Newsweek that made the revelation according to census figures. Here, we have old and young, orthodox jewish and caribbean. The list could go on and on, but it's late and I have to save something for later on. I hope you enjoy these.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
