The Art I Did Today

Our assignment for tomorrow was to prepare to draw an abstract self-portrait based on something that impacted our life.  I chose my experience working with Apple so here is the background for my self-portrait.

  1. Cool.

  2. You’re not subtle by any stretch, Miss Caitlin. Nope, can’t really hide your allegiance to the company with that creation.

    Sedgewick is not being smarmy here… in fact, in a public confession of sorts, I’ll go as far as to say I’m an Apple Fan (I’m writing this missive on a MacBook Pro). I also own quite a few shares of AAPL, most of which were purchased long before you worried about such things as art projects. Sedgewick feels old now.

    I love Apple as a company for a couple of reasons. From a consumer’s standpoint, I love the fact they blaze trails and develop products that are easy to use and are, frankly, transformational. I like the fact they’re a less-than-10%-market-share company that absolutely dictates what the high tech world does.

    From a business perspective, I like Apple’s pedigree. Apple combines product innovation with a fearlessness pretty rare in consumer products these days. Finally, I like their business model. They are sitting on ridiculous liquidity and their P/E is WAY out of whack, yet the Street (and investors) are confidently investing because THEY BELIEVE Apple is going to blow their doors off. When you’ve got customers EXPECTING to be wowed because you’ve done it so many times before, you’ve achieved something.

    Apple represents what all American companies should be – fearlessly innovative and willing to boldly lead. If Ford/Chevy/GM/Chrysler operated by the type of rules under which Apple abides, how good would American cars be? True, the example may not be precisely parallel, but Apple clearly has something most companies don’t.

    Anyway. Nice art work, young lady. I have to chuckle thinking about some other logos up there, though. How trendy would your art be if, say, you had the logo for a ‘lesser’ company up there?

    I don’t know why, but I keep thinking ‘Goodies Headache Powders’ or something equally old. Or spray cheese?

    Sedgewick makes himself laugh frequently these days. Dementia is not all that scary, after all.
