journal page, book love and more

My book came!!! It is TOTALLY what I have been waiting a very long time for.

Art Revolution by Lisa Cyr.

Stop whatever it is you are doing and get your butt over to the local bookstore. You NEED this book. If you don't buy another art book all year, you NEED this book. If you've been saving your pennies, this is what you should spend your pennies on. $25 of art love. I haven't read it yet but I have flipped through the pages and drooled over the art several times. It goes without saying that many of my favorite artists are in it including-

Barron Storey-Now the fact that Barron Storey is in here, makes me tell you to go get it. NOW. Don't know who the hell Barron Storey is (you should if you read this blog!), get over to this post here and learn more. Follow the links in it.

Dorothy Simpson Krause-I love love love Dorothy Simpson Krause. You also need her book, Book + Art. It is one of my favorites.

David Mack-Who doesn't love David Mack and his work? Get his books and make damn sure you get his DVD.

Dave McKean-What? What do you mean you don't know who Dave McKean is. You know who Neil Gaiman is, I bet. Stop reading this. You can come back. Go to wherever your local comic book shop is. NOW. I'll be here when you return. You'll have a smile on your face and you'll be thanking me.

Fred Otnes-Oh. My. God. The. LAYERS.

I could go on and on. I won't. Do whatever it takes to get your hands on this book NOW. I have a funny feeling I will be carrying it around with me like a certain someone carries a little blue blanket for awhile.
