Drawing from Life: The Journal as Art

Drawing from Life

While bouncing around with Charlotte this morning, we took a look through a great book I hadn’t flipped through since last summer. Drawing from Life: The Journal as Art by Jennifer New (a fellow Iowan!) is a great look inside the visual journals of people ranging from David Byrne and Maira Kalman to a geologist, a scientific illustrator, and a psychologist who chronicles his subway rides.

The book is filled with all sorts of ideas, inspiration, and skill levels. It’s always nice to be reminded of all the curiosity and ideas out there.

P.S. Jennifer’s blog is fantastic!
