Sketchbooks: Great Idea Generators + Danny Gregory's WOW Factor

It's one of those things you just wander into.

In my case I'd gone to visit Rachel Kitterman's lovely blog, Indigo Luna and after following a link to someplace else, the universe somehow guided me on a circuitous route of discovery.

At the end of the journey I can tell you that if you haven't seen the on-line pages featuring Linda Kemshall's Design Matters student sketchbooks, this is the day to check these babies out.

The short story? Expect multiple galleries with multiple photos and scans in multiple mediums.

More specifics about the Sketchbooks?
Color + Line + Unlikely Combinations = a wealth of seeds, ready to bloom forth with material to spark your own creative tangents.

But this is no time to dally reading what I think about them; just click on over and enjoy the contrast, shape, texture and more.

Oh - and do us a favor, would you?
If you know about more pages, blogs, etc that would be good to visit, would you add a link in the comments area below and tell us what you like about them?

My first choice for an "also visit" list is Danny Gregory
It's another WOW.

OK - Maybe WOW plus.

See his new book too - Danny Gregory: The Creative License : Giving Yourself Permission to be the Artist You Truly Are - as if his first book - Danny Gregory: Everyday Matters a stunning, Inspiring, a "Must Read" (*****) wasn't enough

Here is an "also visit" suggestion, an essay that appeared in a storytelling blog that I edit. It was written by Kristin Saegaert, a book artist in Locust Grove, Georgia: "Listening to one's own stories: The healing nature of blank book journaling." The portal URL gives you a choice of a full graphics version (preferred for broadband) and a text-only version (for dial-up).

Thanks for your lovely site. I'm inspired to add some art to a personal blog of mine, even though I lack "representational" drawing skills. It still seems a good way to observe my world, by sketching it as well as talking about it.
