• I love happening upon books like this at the library: Artist to Artist: 23 Major Illustrators Talk to Children About Their Art
(Philomel Books, proceeds benefit the Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art.) This is a treasure. Amazing artwork accompanies words of encouragement and wisdom woven into the personal experiences of these artists—I would suggest that this book isn’t just for children, and that you don’t even need to be an aspiring artist to gain a ton from reading it. • This blog post by Justine Musk about minimalism and creativity in a consumer culture spoke to me on a bunch of different levels.
• I heard the end of Brahms’ German Requiem on NPR recently, and realized I didn’t appreciate it nearly enough when I played it way-back-when. Because—well, just listen to it and tell me what you think.
