Ispirational Books and Magazines

These are some of the recent books I have been using for inspiration for my drawings for lung health. I found many of the books at thrift stores and the imagery is rich and ready for my imagination. I reference many art magazines for inspiration and research such as Art Forum, Esopus, American Painters, Art on Paper, etc. I have piles and piles of books around my studio and on the bookshelves of my basement. I love flipping through the pages not knowing what I may find and suddenly something inspires me. I use the image(s) as a jumping off point for my drawings.

This looks like the stack that would have been on the floor of my room as a kid- particularly that bird one.
