This is a refreshing blend of workbook, inspiration guide, and coffee‑table gem that truly celebrates creativity. The approach is interactive and encouraging, making it easy for both seasoned artists and curious beginners to reconnect with their creative voice. It feels conversational and uplifting—like listening to a favorite podcast episode—while also offering practical exercises that spark self‑expression. Fun, insightful, and motivating, this book is a must‑read for anyone looking to reignite their passion for art and imagination.

Such a fun book from the creative minds/owners of @Goodtype. As someone who has always loved books that are creative and can spark and unleash a lot of conversation. This was that book and I absolutely loved reading it. A part workbook/art/coffee table book, it was really fun and a pleasure to read. Johnson and Griffin are ones to watch.

I’ve always enjoyed listening to Katie and Ilana’s Goodtype podcast. Besides being knowledgeable, they are fun and relatable! Follow your Art is a continuation of those friendly voices that guide me and inspire me to rediscover my artistic practice. I am planning to use it as a reference when I go back to teaching art!

I LOVE this book. It's interactive and they really got me thinking about my creative voice. This also happened to come at a time when I needed this shift most, and I'm thankful for the Goodtype crew for that. I don't think there's anything else like this out there. I highly recommend!

Accessible and surprisingly profound. Follow Your Art helps the reader look within, assess, and connect the dots to transcribe their style in a way that’s not at all intimidating.
