The world would be a better place if everyone continued to draw
past their teens. But we're told from an early age that art,
especially drawing, won't pay bills. You need to do something with
your life, become a doctor, or a mechanic, or a...Teacher? If you
really want to draw for a living, that's called illustration. And
you'll need to go to college, and uni, start from the bottom and
work your way up...Drawing if for kids! Quoteskine is drawing for
grown ups. Call it anti-illustration if you want. It celebrates the
love of drawing and the subject matter that inspires each image.
Taking in references from movies, books, music, famous figures and
even including some self penned quotes. Quoteskine hopes to
reconnect that childhood love of drawing and creativity with the
adult brain. Forget a minute about the work you have to do and the
bills you have to pay. Get lost instead in the grown up kid's world
that is Quoteskine. Then it's your turn.

HOW TO BE HAPPY (OR AT LEAST LESS SAD) is a workbook offering a
place of solace, distraction, and a fresh perspective on life. This
book will not fix you and it will not make you happy, but it
promises to help you rediscover the simple pleasures in life and,
ultimately, make you feel that little less sad. "This book made me
nervous when I first scanned through it because I knew it would
work! This isn't a self-help book; it's more of a blue-collar,
get-down-to business friend with calloused hands who is ready to
boogie when you are. This book is about action. But also
acknowledgement. There are no platitudes and its author is no
Pollyanna. It's an explicit map that leads to a place where you're
going to feel measurably better, and better equipped to face life's
vicissitudes." - Rob Delaney, Comedian

good (and bad) art, this book belongs in the hands of every
exhausted creative, every starry-eyed dreamer, and every artist who
is trying to make their way in the world - and keep a roof over
their head while they do it.
