I bought this artbook a few days ago. It's is really well made artbook. It's fun to find various style illustrator's sketches, drawings and colorworks.
Very lovely..

I read Every Day Matters and became an instant fan. I carry that book around and show it to people to give them some inspiration too. Now I carry a moleskin around and draw and doodle and I feel like a real artist instead of a weirdo.
Even to church (don't tell the pastor). I bought An Illuminated Life about two weeks ago and am enjoying it very much although I must admit that about half of the journal artists are too ghoulish and scary for me. Things don't have to be "pretty" to be interesting but they don't have to be gargoyles all the time either. The other half I have felt are good for thinking outside the box. Of all the them Kurtdhollomon.com was my favorite and was the only one I bookmarked on my computer. I loved your two videos from England and notice you are using an aqua pen which is something I have just discovered too! Very cool. I hope you'll drop by my blog some time at ginnystiles.blogspot.com Someday I hope to put some videos on my blog too. I have not had time to look at all you have yet.
Most of them. I love James jeans and Mattias adolfsson's drawing. They are very great
I have discovered "An illustated life" few months ago by accident at a bookstore. i was looking for something to inspire me to draw again. I have moved to a new country an felt void for what felt to be a century and didn't know how to adapt or how to rediscover myself in a new environment. This book and those artists were what i was looking for. Now i am relearning how to draw and appreciate my surrounding with no fear of being criticized; i look forward for every opportunity i have to discover something new and draw my impressions in my sketchbook.
I read the book passionatly, and every time i see it at a bookstore i want to buy it again.
Thank You!
