Drawing From Life: The Journal as Art.

I’ve long considered sketchbooks and journals art in their own right. Maybe not always finished pieces, but embryonic thoughts and ideas that came to fruition elsewhere. Jennifer New has taken this idea and compiled 31 list-, chart-, and sketch-filled journals by painters, filmmakers, engineers, designers, and other visual thinkers into Drawing From Life: The Journal as Art.

    This is such a great idea. I’m definitely going to look into getting this. Other people’s inspiration can be such a personal source of inspiration. Great find!

    I just ordered this for my friend…it arrives Monday. I’m SO cracking it open before I wrap it.

    I had another gift planned for her, but the shipping wasn’t working out, so this is awesome!

    I’m so psyched! Thanks!
