rob bell just kicked off a new speaking tour called drops like stars (which i hope to attend some time in the fall). the tour and the corresponding book deal with something that, to me particularly, is a fascinating topic: the inherent link between suffering and creating. without too much detail, it simply looks amazing.

i stumbled across the blog of designer mike rohde who was in attendance for the opening night of the tour in chicago last week. he did live sketchnoting and the results are really beautiful and interesting.

if i get the chance to attend a tour stop, i hope to provide much more than a handful of sketched pages, but in the meantime, these will suffice. 🙂

so, here they are. (click to see larger)
