About the book >.>.> I have been looking for this book since I was a boy drawing at the kitchen table. I’ve looked for it in dusty secondhand bookshops in the art sections of libraries in online bookstores and in auction houses. Because! never found it I had to put it together myself-a book full of sketchbooks and illustrated journals from all sorts of people who love nothing better than to hunch over a little book and fill its pages with lines and colors. That seems fitting somehow making a book about books people have made-books that were generally not intended to be shared at all and certainly not to be seen by strangers in large numbers. The pages of this book are filled with doorways to private worlds drawn and written to record impressions to work without judgment to take risks and to chart new directions. It’s that intimacy and unguarded freedom that makes these books my favorite art form. It’s the closest one can get to being inside an artist’s head to feeling the raw creativity flow: a book bulging with drawings and scrawled captions some pages experimental some pages carefully observed. The pages are buckled from layers of watercolor. The margins are filled with shop. (SP)
