Oh my gosh! This is priceless!!!! Loving this... Dang it's going to be expensive........
What an awesome line up of books. Definitely some there I need to check out.
Thanks for listing your favorite art books...Out of all of those,I have three. I will definitely be checking out several titles...new artists (to me). Another thing I like about it is that it's not just a list of how to books. I check your blog almost everyday...I'd take your class but I'm kind of into paint right now...
Cheers,
Mary
I want them all - actually I have a few. Thanks for posting this Kelly...a new reading list!
okay are you trying to drain my wallet??? :)
These look great. I just picked up a copy of "The Journey is the Destination" and the other book about him "Dan Eldon The Art of Life". He was such an amazing young man.
Will have to check out a few more you have posted.
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing!! I have many of these but some I dont. I am going to try to check them out. Books are such a weakness!!

I forecast some busy bookstores today. I am intrigued by several of these, especially This Inspired: How Creative People Think, Work and Find Inspiration. Do you own a copy?
I've been trying to get Dear Diary for years from the library and no one seems to have it.
Yes, all of the books above are books that I own.
I bought the Inspired book at Borders years ago. It was the only time I ever saw it.
I tend to jump on Gingko Press publications. They are some of my favorites.
My favorite publishers:
Mark Murphy (out of San Diego), Gingko Press, Paumes, Fantagraphics, Top Shelf, Drawn and Quarterly, Last Gasp, Chronicle Books...to name a few...
Heh! We have several favourites in common. But we knew that!
What a wonderful and wide-ranging selection of books, Kelly! I clicked on the Cornell/Duchamp cover and nearly had a heart attack over the price, tho - yikes! Guess I won't be buying that one, but still, thanks for stretching my brain a bit.
Kaleidoscope is a favorite of mine. Love that book.
OY! I have pain in my wallet...
However I have ten of them so it will be a bit less painful!
Great suggestions Kelly!
Thanks as always.
Dorit
ps: Check my blog - you are in my list!
Stellar list from my librarian! Familiar with some (and second your recommendations) but many are new to me. Off to discover now!! Thanks.
Wow what a list..I have four of them..Most I have never seen.
Thanks so much
Great wish list material
This is a great list of books. It's going to take me awhile to go these but oh what fun.
Thanks for sharing.
This is a great list Kelly! I have some -- and there are a few that I want. I'm a bit late reading this -- it's been too hot to turn on the computer!
Wow, what a mega list of amazing books. Some I know, some I have, but lots of fresh spirit here...newness...so wonderful Kelly, thanks for taking the time to inspire us so.

Great list, Kelly!
Wow wow wow! I'm honored to have made it onto your list -- thanks so much! We have many books in common: the Cornell/Duchamp book is simply the best, Gail Rieke's work is always incredibly inspiring, and I love Barron Storey's illustration style. There are quite a few books here that are new to me, so I guess the adventure begins -- thanks so much for sharing!

Hi Kelly,
That is an impressive list, thanks for including my book on it, I am honored.
Hope all is well with you. I see that the con is coming up this week. I won't be there this year, but perhaps next year.
All my best,
Bill
Oooo you like Hunderwasser too! Love his work so hard to find books or prints of his though...
Just in time for my Christmas wish list! Thanks for sharing all of your books, there are some titles I wouldn't have found otherwise!
Intense list! Whew!
oh wow, I love your list of books and the images Kelly! what a great page... I love the bookbinding ones. I'd add Gwen Diehns lovely ones, eg Decorated Journal, and 'the Drawing Book - tania kovats, and Draw! by Jeffrey Camp, he's a funny guy.. always inspiring.
