Lisa Currie is an artist and author comfortably planted in Melbourne, Australia. Her books are a fresh start waiting to happen, a map to someplace new! They can be a playful moment with a loved one, or a space to vent and doodle in your own private way.
Her latest book SURPRISE YOURSELF will be released August 2017 by Penguin Random House.
She is also the ringleader of long-running blog The Scribble Project, where she collects hand-drawn interviews with artists and doodlers from all over the world.
Not a book per se, but rather a semi-illustrated journal that prompts creative thinking via simple, often funny & provocative drawings. Small format paperback is easy to stow in a bag or backpack. It's fun an engaging--perfect for people who don't enjoy writing lengthy journal entries or who find diary-keeping too dangerous, yet who wish to record their story nevertheless. I feel writers and artists would particularly enjoy playing around within The Scribble Diary's pages, but it is friendly and accessible to all. The format of open-ended questions is fun, presented in a playful manner; but many could use it as a jumping off point for much deeper introspection.
