I'm currently doing Sketchbook Skool's art bootcamp course as a way to get my mind away from stress and to restart my lapsed drawing habit. I found this on Libby. It's all about making art with a small a. It won't tell you much about HOW to draw but does a fine job of persuading you WHY to draw (it'll enrich your everyday life and you'll have made a unique record of it) and gives heaps of ideas for WHAT to draw. It'll keep me going a while yet!

BookishMarginalia Sounds great! #Stacked! 3y

1. I‘m a sucker for skillet meals (provided they‘re onion-free) or similar layered things I can smush together and devour.

2. I think lots of US restaurants are super weird, but in a delightful way. I went to a lumberjack one once, in WI! And ND has an alien-themed place.

3. Unless I‘m eating with others or my meal requires two hands.

4. I wished Kahlua & coffee brownie ice cream existed so I made it and it was awesome.

(Re)reading this on this cold winter‘s night— to try to spark some creativity. ❤️ Danny Gregory.

P.S. my 1980 house still has the original mirror-like blinds here. Cool reflection of some of my books 😎

jpmcwisemorgan I‘ve never seen blinds like that. They‘re awesome! 5y
ValerieAndBooks @jpmcwisemorgan It definitely gives off a 1980s vibe 😊. This is the only room with them, though! Oh but there are two completely mirrored walls here also 😂 5y
ValerieAndBooks @jpmcwisemorgan Mirror walls are in other rooms, that is. 5y

jpmcwisemorgan I want some, tbh. I live alone and I‘d be able to see around corners and into rooms without entering. No one would be able to hide. 5y
Reggie I miss wood paneling. And aqua and orange color themes. I dig the mirrors. Stay warm!! 5y
ValerieAndBooks @jpmcwisemorgan apparently they still exist! Google “mirror blinds” 😊. I tried to paste a link into this but it didn‘t work 😕. 5y
ValerieAndBooks @Reggie @LauraBeth there‘s a lot of 1980s elements in this house 😂. We are only the second owners (bought it 4 years ago). Remember the dusty rose/hunter green combo in vogue back then? Our kitchen has that 😆. 5y
Lynnsoprano Our house was also built in the 80s, and the original carpet was sculpted mauve throughout the house. Awful! It was a happy day when we pulled up the last of that. @reggie the house has cypress paneled vaulted ceilings in the master bedroom and living + family rooms. Aqua and orange: are you a Dolphins fan😂 5y
ValerieAndBooks @Lynnsoprano ahh yes, the vaulted ceilings of the 80s! We have one of those too, with a wood beam where the peak meets 😂. I bet you got rid of that carpet as fast as you were able to! 5y

I‘ve collected many art books over the years. This is just a selection of the ones that are focused on making you more creative and a better drawer.

So there, Loki! You can use that book as an arm pillow all you like.

I borrowed this book from the library about a year ago and it got me drawing daily for a while. I've fallen out of the habit, so I decided that I needed it again. Problem is, Loki has decided he needs it too! #catsoflitsy

Oh how I love this book! Gregory reminds us that art is for all of us. That's "art," not "Art." He helps remind me that I can go make art, every day.
