Creativity seeks constant inspiration to feed its insatiable appetite. One of the methods I use is the brilliance of friends and colleagues. I am a member of a great organization, the Picture Book Artist's Association which is not only a web-site of some fabulous children's picture book art but also an informative list serv that discusses all aspects of creating books for children, from agents to art directories to publishers, editors and art directors.
However, drawing, sketching and doodling is vital to any artist's career, the more the better. An informal group that have recently joined is Drawer Geeks.
The many cartoonists, animators and illustrators in this contingent meet together biweekly on a particular theme. To see the innovative ways that each artist handles the subject is awesome. I've posted a few of my own. Ever seen this cat on the right while browsing through the rain forest?
Or what about the other fellow. Ever walk into one of these on your midnight rambles?
Well you can see 'em all at drawer geeks!
