Visual Notes
Learning is as unique as your fingerprint
My learning has always been defined by a need to create and find relatable connections through visualization
For most of my life I was not permitted to “take notes” the way that I needed - so I would comply, to then go home and draw illustrations to make sense out of what I heard
I always kept my notes hidden
Until one day about 10 years ago, while attending a professional conference
Someone looked over my shoulder and said, “What is that?”
I felt like I was in trouble again. But then they asked if they could have a copy
Then other people asked for copies
Then more people asked me to create notes for them
Then organizations asked me to create notes for their meetings
It still feels a bit strange,
For most of my life I was prevented from creating what I call “visual notes” -
and now have people request them - even pay for me to create them

Beasts without biomes
Based out of Cleveland
Guitar - Keyboards - Vocals / Tom Hanicak
Bass - Vocals / Pete Roche
Beasts Without Biomes is currently going through a period of transition. As a trio, we created, recorded and performed for over a decade together.
All continues to be good in the world of creativity and music.
The band will continue to create, but with a changed lineup
The next iteration of Beasts will most certainly sound and feel different.
Stay tuned.
