As an artist, do you have a favorite book or blog that you go back to over and over for inspiration? I do, and I can can open the book to any page, read maybe a page or two, and my brain kicks into overdrive. I keep this book sitting on the small table in my reading nook in my create room. It is so effective for me that sometimes I decide that I don't want to read it because it will get the wheels turning and they won't stop. This incredibly powerful book for me is "Show Your work" by Austin Kleon. Austin has a follow up book that I love too called "Steal Like an Artist" It seems to have a similar affect on me as "Show Your Work" His newest book is from 2019, "Keep Going". I have yet to read this one but I'm sure its a winner too.
What book or books do you go to again and again for inspiration? Do you have a favorite artist you follow that gets you moving creatively? Tell me in the comments. I'm looking to grow my creative library. Maybe I should do a post on my reading nook and creative library, hmmm.

About This Blog
I have had a personal blog for years that while some of it pertained to my work, some of it was more personal than I wanted to share on my photography site. Here is the new blog. I may carry some of the stories over from the old, but this page will be about photography, art, exploration and adventure. I hope you enjoy this journey with me.
