Product Description
Product Description
When Danny Gregory's life was turned upside down by tragedy, he learned to cope by teaching himself to draw. The result was a complete transformation of his life, his priorities, his career, and the way he saw the world. In handwritten chapters full of his lush watercolor illustrations, Danny now offers readers a program for reconnecting to their own creative energies, using drawing as an example. He gently instructs us in the art of allowing ourselves to fail, giving up the expectation of perfection and opening our eyes to the beauty around us. The result is the permission to express ourselves fully and take part in the creative process without fear. Artist or not, readers of all stripes will find inspiration in this unique and beautiful book.

Inspiring,
By
This review is from: The Creative License: Giving Yourself Permission To Be The Artist You Truly Are (Paperback)
This book is full of pointers on drawing, on creating something on paper with ink. There are a lot of ideas on what to draw ,when (now) to draw but not how to draw. Every page feels like a call to put pen to paper. The text is typeset in a handwriting font, which might make it hard to read for long periods of time. The good thing is this book can be picked up and read in portions from any page. It's a very inspirational and motivating book to read, especially when in a artist block. As I finish the book, I begin to see objects in life differently. Everyone can have that creative license, as suggested by the book title. There are more pictures of the book on my blog. Just visit my Amazon profile for the link.

Unique approach to stimulating creativity!,

This review is from: The Creative License: Giving Yourself Permission To Be The Artist You Truly Are (Paperback)
Danny Gregory's original style, peppered with fresh visuals, layouts and fonts inspired me to keep turning the pages. It is replete with wisdom and wit and even a light spiritual bent to invoke creative energy. Thanks for designing this book and giving me the boost I needed to get started.

Even includes pep talks!,
This review is from: The Creative License: Giving Yourself Permission To Be The Artist You Truly Are (Paperback)
I bought this books approximately... 5 years ago. Since then, I've filled more than 25 journals/sketchbooks. Reading this, you feel like you can fill you own journal with drawings, doodles, anything to capture the small details that make our life important. I've bought a second book because I wanted to lend the book but still keep a copy for myself if I ever needed a push, and never regretted it. I consider Danny Gregory my guru, and think everyone that is inclined towards drawing and writing a journal should try it. The more the better.
