Fascinating! I absolutely love the freedom and self-integration that an illustrated journal affords... it seems to me to be a therapy, cathartic at times, exploratory, developmental, and on and on! Thank you for inspiring me, Danny
The illustrations of the award winning "King of the Wind" has captured the hearts of school girls over the decades. It would be a delight to view any of the artist sketches and studies. If you stumble across them please review them.
Great video Danny. To be honest it was your book (The Illustrated Life) that got me hooked on drawing! For that I'm eternally grateful. You're a good artist, but your biggest talent is your ability to give people confidence to draw and not to be self-critical.
Wow! Danny, I just found this and I LOVE that you are doing this little series! This was wonderful! I was also head over heels inspired by Hannah's work. So nice to hear you share the love! Now I have to go dig through my library to see which Hannah books I still own.
Thanks for sharing these wonderful sketchbooks! Particularly Hannah's book - a great inspiration. Much prefer a book in hand to ebooks, but understand some like the convenience of Kindle.
Do check out Hannah Hinchman's 2004 beautifully illustrated book, Little Things in a Big Country. All text written by her in that gorgeous style . I own this book as well as the 2 mentioned in this terrific video. Thanks.
I've looked at buying this from the UK, but inclusive of postage, the cost is obscene. I guess popularity eventually can make some things attainable only for the comfortably wealthy.
