One of my favourite projects! I create premium, high resolution photo packs for artists to download and use in their work, personal and commercial. I try to make my reference available to everyone and have a range of free and extended packs available. Here are some of my favourites, but be sure to check out my store for the full selection!
Learning
Justin’s work transports you to another world of calm, tranquility and beauty. It’s damn near impossible to look at his art and not dream of escaping our day-to-day and exploring the vast wilderness. Also, he’s just a really lovely guy!
Learn his breathtaking painting skills with his 12 week landscape course and his 8 week gouache course. He even offers payment plans if they are currently a little out of your means, making them so much more accessible.
Books
Atomic Habits
James Clear
This book changed the way I approached goal-setting forever. If you find yourself struggling with motivation, this one might be for you.
Steal Like an Artist
Austin Kleon
While this book is titled for artists, its lessons are universal. This book gave me a fresh look at originality and how to stand out in this era where everything has been done before.
Range
David Epstein
Range is a must for anyone like me who grapples with guilt over their multi-disciplinary, varied, messy life. Spoiler: it’s actually our super power.
The Courage to be Disliked
Ichiro Kishimi & Fumitake Koga
An important message for any of us who want to make a difference in this world and a valuable philosophy to live by.
