Interesting Books for Artists: 2 Books to Inspire your Creativity

If you’re anything like me, the path to becoming an artist hasn’t always been straight. We all know practice makes perfect, but it was hard for me to even do that. I kept wanting to be an artist, but nothing gave me the push to get there. Until I read these lovely books.

Big Magic

This has been my favorite book for quite some time now. I’ve read it twice & listened to it on audiobook once. It has inspired me in more ways than just creatively. I recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a little magic in their life. The book focuses one pushing through the fear you have to start living a more creative life.

What fear do I have, you ask? Here’s a quick excerpt from the book I enjoyed reading,

“You’re afraid you have no talent. You’re afraid you’ll be rejected or criticized or ridiculed or misunderstood or — worst of all — ignored. You’re afraid somebody else already did it better. You’re afraid somebody will steal your ideas, so it’s safer to keep them hidden forever in the dark. You’re afraid you won’t be taken seriously. You’re afraid that someday you’ll look back on your creative endeavors as having been a giant waste of time, effort, and money.
