The legendary Blankenship was sitting in the audience at WIBO. He had designed the branding. Then he hand-sketched notes from the presenters. And Ainsley and I get to have lunch with him and Mandy tomorrow. Love this guy's work.

Carlos Whittaker at Whiteboard
Excited to have Carlos Whittaker at The Whiteboard Sessions in Virginia Beach on Friday, May 21. He just released his brand new album, which hit #16 on the top iTunes albums yesterday. Are you serious?? I know Christian albums don't always stay there, but what an absolutely remarkable feat on opening day.
Check out Tony Morgan's blog tomorrow for more on Carlos...

Behind the Scenes Whiteboard Branding
For Whiteboard this year, I asked Joshua Blankenship to help shape the branding. Here are just a few of the pieces he created... He kept the pieces simple, but added some subtle flair with the nautical cartography in the background. This is the ID badge, notebook cover, and promotional mailer.
A Story You've Got to Hear...
This is a GREAT story from James MacDonald, pastor of Harvest Bible Chapel... who will be one of our speakers at Whiteboard. Every single message, this pastor nails me between the eyes. You don't want to miss hearing him at Whiteboard...

Faux Ads for Whiteboard
In 2008, I posted a series of faux ads for Whiteboard with speakers Mark Batterson and Tim Stevens. Reposting them today for a little WIBO fun. If I had time, I'd create new ones featuring this year's speakers... but ya know...

Behind Every Great Event...
When my wife Ainsley was in the middle of delivering our third baby boy naturally 6 months ago, she leaned over in the birthing pool and asked me if I was doing okay and needed something to eat. The midwife's eyes got really big and she said, "You're loved, Ben."
