Seriously needed: a couple of new books for inspiration and creative motivation.
On my wish-list:
:: Meira Kalman's And the Pursuit of Happiness
.I love everything Meira writes and illustrate since discovering her delightful work for the 2005 illustrated edition of The Elements of Style
(if you're not familiar with it and you're writing, anything from notes to prose, hurry up and get your copy!).The book is the collection of Meira's posts as part of her yearlong investigation of the American democracy. The post were published during 2009 on The New York Times.
:: Drawn In
: a peek into the inspiring sketchbooks of 44 fine artists, illustrators, graphic designers, and cartoonists.:: Pulled: A Catalog of Screen Printing
.I would also love a copy of Print Workshop
. I like the book's tag line: Techniques for low budget and high ambition. Totally down my alley!:: Last but not least is Olga Bennett's Environments book.
The book is a collection of photographs documenting studio spaces of twelve creative people: artists, designers, illustrators, and graphic designer, mainly in Melbourne.
Would love to hear from you: do you have one of the above? Do you like and recommend it? Any other new visual books recommendations?
I want a copy of Pulled too.
