Remembering to constantly take images of my day/week seems very unnatural to me. I get immersed in a project and think, “Oh crap, I forgot again”!
Here is my go for this week:
Books
I totally recommend this art book by contemporary artist Nicola Tyson ( click on the image for more).
Her work speaks to me on an instinctual level, a high place of deep knowing. Her work is where I prefer to be myself but feel the wider audience does not seem to get me when I swim in the contemporary lane.
Note to self: investigate need to please…
Bits from the book below. More of Nicola’s Work can be found here.
A book found at my local Goodwill hunting day.
$1.99 what a steal. A retro book about Mazes! I have the same game plan every time I visit GoodWill… I hit the book section for crafts/art, the t-shirt aisle, and then move into housewares! The best art books can be found at GoodWill. I want to keep the book in pristine condition so I think I will print a few pages and relive my childhood in a maze.
A couple of art reference Books I use in my art practice
DRAWING HANDS and AFRICAN DESIGNS, great reference books to get your inspiration started.
I doodle to keep sane. It is a practice that lies somewhere between sketching and drawing, not really living totally in one space or another but rather a place to let go, be free, and get a pen on paper.
This week I purchased a new Ink Dip Pen Holder from Jet Pens.
I LOVE the dip pen nib holder, T-40 Tachikawa in Natural, it has the capability to hold both regular and round nibs and feels so comfortable to use when holding for long periods of time.
I also use Zebra G Nibs and Tachikawa Mapping Nibs.
If you are new to Dip Pens and want to learn more visit HERE , the guide page on the Jet Pen website… SO MUCH information there and great for a beginner.
