Today’s “Daily Bizcard” design, “South Beach”, goes to Alex de Carvalho, one of Miami’s most active social media evangelists.
Alex and I have known each other for a while. We first met at Le Web Paris 2005. He was living in France at the time, he moved to Miami a couple of years later, about the same time I first started going there on a regular basis.
As my business got more and more Miami-based (I now visit there once a month, for around 4 – 10 days), we became good friends. When I’m in town Alex, Maria and I will usually meet for drinks at least once or twice, probably at Monty’s. It’s become part of my Miami ritual.
I drew this cartoon back in January, while I was staying in South Beach, Miami. Up to that point, it was the longest I had ever stayed in that town– ten days or so.
It was quite an experience. South Beach is full of random people– tourist and local– walking around, almost aimlessly. I wandered up and down Ocean Drive again and again, trying to see stories in the faces. All their faces seemed to tell stories. Not all of them were happy ones.

[Alex, please send me an e-mail at gapingvoid@gmail.com with your shipping address and the details you want on the back of the bizcard, and I’ll send a free box of 100 to you. Thanks!]

There are 8 million stories in The Naked City. This, is one of them.…
No one probably remembers that early 60’s tv series that may be late 50’s, however, that was about New York, New York, the town so nice, they named it twice. There are stories everywhere, you simply need to know where to look.
You also reminded me of why I’m following you in the first place, so, I might be ready for my 100ppl post now.… Thanks!!!
Hugh,
This is all kinds of awesome, thank you.
Thanks also for the invaluable advice over the years.
See you in South Beach
