Today is the publication date of Amanda Blake Soule’s wonderful new book — The Creative Family. (Congratulations Amanda!)
Here is the praise I heaped on this truly inspiring book:
"Amanda Soule has created a wonderful guide that nourishes the wellspring of creativity already inherent in the family dynamic. She encourages discovery, ingenuity, sharing, and celebration in a way that helps each family member grow, while simultaneously bringing the whole family closer together. A truly meaningful book for and about that which we hold dearest."
More info on the book is here, and of course, I do recommend that you go buy a copy right now.
Be sure to check out Rosa Murillo’s Found Art Tuesday project, where she makes art and then leaves it in public places for others to find. And do watch the video below in which Rosa documents the creation of one of her recent Found Art Tuesday pieces. (Special thanks to Robayre for reminding me about Rosa’s wonderful project.)
Do check out Valerie James’ Las Madres Project — “an artist’s response to the human suffering and ongoing death of migrants coming across the Mexican/American border in search of work in El Norte.”
Check out the wonderful work of artist Jenna Lucente at her website. She’s also currently exhibiting new paintings at the Wagner College Gallery in Staten Island, NY, through Feb. 28. Details are here.
Found through Flickr browsing, I think. Very cool art (design, letterpress, photography and more), definitely worth checking out. Here’s her main site — opheliachong.org, her blog, and her flickr page.
