npr: newsweek: In this week’s issue, Cult of Mac’s Leander Kahney collects “The 10 Commandments of Steve.” More than anything else, Jobs’s genius is in managing the creative process. Here’s his playbook. [See it full size] Great chart! Also worth a look is former NPR designer Callie Neylan’s appreciation of Jobs and Apple: “Apple’s Secret Is In Our DNA” —Wright I can see how every one of these philosophies could be adapted to the world of animation and creative...

waveybrain: Here’s “Vincent”. Have a gander. Btw, we went to the Tim Burton exhibit at the LACMA in LA recently. If you’re a fan and in the area, you can’t miss it!
