This book is visually appealing, filled with humor and asks artists hard questions about their creative process. They display a good sense of humor and willingness to share methods for getting past their own creative blocks. Danielle Krysa, also known as The Jealous Curator, has assembled a panel of 50! successful and - yes, you will be jealous of them - artists. She interviews them about their inner critics, how they get themselves unstuck and how they suggest we might.
One of my favorite ideas for getting unstuck was proposed by Jessica Bell: deliberately destroy something you love. Speaking from my experience of holding what we call Bad Art Night every two weeks where we challenge ourselves to do just that - destroy something you love, I can tell you this works fast to get you unstuck. All the ideas in the book are of this caliber - bold and daring. And the photos of each artists work are sumptuous. I particularly liked that many of those interviewed by Danielle were collage artists.
