Early Christmas Pressies




Hi there ;)  As well as doing Christmas shopping for both big and little people, I got some things for myself.  I bought 'Show Your Work' by Austin Kleon as I find the idea of promoting my art kind of icky and needed some help there.  I've read a few pages and it sounds just what I needed so far.  I bought 'Infinity Net' which I am already about half way through and really enjoying.  I've always been intrigued with Yayoi Kusama and always thought, 'what's with all the dots?'.  Now I know a whole lot more.  I bought Eva Hesse: Datebooks 1964/65 which is a creation of two small datebooks in her own handwriting as well as a printed book of her datebooks.  It wasn't what I expected but beautiful all the same.  After I discovered Eva Hesse I fell in love with Minimalism and went through a whole Eva Hesse phase with my art but it just didn't satisfy me as much as doing more figurative work so I shelved those ideas.  Then I couldn't go past a new Moleskine sketchbook as I really love the paper(and the covers).
