Arty Farty!
A book aimed at wannabe artists looking for creativity ideas. I thought that it may also give some inspiration in general inspriation and to wannabe authors. I didn't get much from it and in the end felt it was a bit ponsy. It was trying to present itself in a unique, creative style with its varying text styles and asterixes to notate reoccuring themes *Collect, Recollect, but i found it annoying and pretentious.
Sorry. I am sure the art illiterati will find it very useful. But at 9.99 for such a short book that seemed to have very little to say, I felt a tad OVerChaRgeD!!

Really good. I note there's another version - perhaps longer. Checking it out as this was a good but short read
