This is so awesome and I related to it a lot...I ALSO want to see what makes an artist make the things he makes so that I can do the same! (
And...I'm no artist, but I do find all of these very applicable to me. Excellent work.Β Β

"A How-To book will show you how to do 1-2-3, but not how to BE."
I think that is the best little quote ever and everyone should know it.

These guides are so wonderful, beautiful, clean, clear and to the point in a lovely way that resonates with me and what I have been attempting to grasph for the little while I've begun to learn art. You're exactly right, you need to learn how to be and every little thing of what went into that piece of art instead of just the art itself, otherwise you will miss out on a whole lot that explains so much better than the image often does.

Without a destination you'll never arrive, but with too many destinations you'll probably just get lost.

I know, sometimes it's so hard to choose a direction and stay with it!

I like the lighthearted look and feel you chose to do these comics with. I like how having the cartoony trees and cars and light colors give it an energy, and also a kind of thoughtful, dreamy feel, that I think works well with the thoughtful/philosophical journal/essay format of these comics.
I really like the idea of using comics to explore your thoughts on creativity. And I think you do a great job of matching images to your words and the thoughts and ideas in general. Things flow really well, and my thoughts and reading experience is guided in a very logical way.
I'm looking forward to following more of these comics on the blog.
