CMugshot: Ami Plasse

Our February #CMugshot is Ami Plasse. Pronounced (AHH-MEE), short for Amitai (AHH-MEE-TAI), this Austin original can be seen chronicling our events with his amazing #sketchnotes.

What’s your day job?

Creative Director of Marketing at Spredfast

What do you love in your breakfast taco?

Spinach – like the almighty Popeye. Also, like me some mushrooms, steak and Tacodeli papas. All on top of eggs and cheese. Flour tortillas, please.

Where’s a place you’d stop on a free afternoon in Austin?

Wherever my bike takes me and my sketchbook.

What’s one thing you’ve been inspired by lately?

The James Drake: Anatomy of Drawing and Space (Brain Trash) show at the Blanton last month. It was a collection of over 1200 drawings completed over the course of 2 years displayed as narrative of the artists’ thoughts in 10 tremendous grid compositions.  Made me want to keep on keeping on.

In the spirit of February’s theme, what do you think is necessary for a great climate?

Inspiration – whether it’s a person, a song or raw emotion –sometimes it’s easily found, sometimes I need to seek it out. I can have all the free time and resources in the world, but if I don’t have a something that motivates, my work will fall flat. When I have that inspiration, the work comes easily and goes to new places.
