Go to Your Studio and Make Stuff- The Fred Babb Poster Book
Sure, I too consider The Artist’s Handbook of Materials and Techniques a veritable oracle for the blossoming artist, but I have to say, Go to Your Studio and Make Stuff is simply the best art book…ever. One of my favorite art/inspiration books, it’s full of what the author calls ‘Art Propaganda’, quirky posters with humorous, inspiring art quotes.
When I was a senior, finishing my Art Baccalaureate Show, I plastered the oversized poster pages all over my studio.
I will never forget the poster for ‘Don’t Drink and Draw’, and my students love this saying.
I hope you will be able to find and peruse this beautiful book —which uses humour for a powerful message: Art will save you.
In the meantime, take a look here.
PS : Good Art won’t match your sofa.
