“Communicating
through
visuals
reaches more
than the
mind” |
Shannon
Parish
Cartoonist, Graphic
Recorder,
Speaker
Ever since I
could hold a
crayon or a
chunk of bbq
charcoal
(much to the
dismay of my
parents) I've
drawn,
colored and
expressed
myself
visually.
Whenever
people ask
me if I will
teach them
to draw, I
always tell
them first,
"Sure, but
first, I
have to
teach you to
see!"
Born and
raised in
the
beautiful
state of
Colorado,
I've had the
great joy of
working for
more than
thirty years
in ministry
and
performed
every
function you
can think of
to run a
church
(except the
sound
board.)
For the past
eleven
years, I've
had the
pleasure of
working with
professional
speakers,
authors, and
entrepreneurs.
Needless to
say, the
blend of all
of these
industries
has allowed
me to
experience
human nature
at its
best--and
worst, both
as a leader
and in
service to
others.
"Shannon's
ability to
visualize
thoughts,
ideas,
concepts,
patterns and
visually
interpret
them with
humor is
fun,
entertaining,
inspiring
and
surprising." |

A great frustration for authors, speakers,
and entrepreneurs is getting their message
across to a wide range of customers.
Providing interior book
illustrations, cover
illustrations, cartoons for
presentations, marketing and
internal communications is
an intelligent way to get
across a message in the
blink of an eye. The old
saying of "A picture is
worth a thousand words" is
even more true today than
ever before.
With multi-media on the rise
and short attention spans
being the norm, the
competition for your
reader's or potential
customer's attention
increases. Cartoons are
built in with 'feel-good'
emotions and memories, and
immediately work to build a
relationship that enhances
your branding.
I work with a wide range of
entrepreneurs, writers and
speakers who have as wide a
range of needs from
presentations, marketing and
educational materials, to
product creation and capital
fund raising.
Another, rare but extremely
effective service I provide
is to graphically record
workshops, seminars,
retreats, brainstorming
sessions and meetings where
there is a flow of ideas and
information. Posters from
this live drawing are left
with the speaker or company
for reproduction and future
use to enhance recall and
retention.
I’m
available for
visually enhanced workshops, seminars and
keynotes which will bring a sense of humor
and creativity to your event as well as
deliver punch and slap-your-forehead
understanding regarding personality
differences and human nature when it comes
to the differences of men and women and what
drives them.
