The Artist's Mentor : Inspiration from the World's Most Creative Minds

Summary: More than a Mentor
Review: A friend gave me this book as a present. I was rather expecting more of the usual 'feel the fear and do it anyway' self-help guff but The Artist's Mentor really was a revelation. Wonderfully well-researched, helpfully structured quotations tied together thematically by Jackman's non-partisan and clear-headed prose, build into a great little book that's a deal more than a mentor, it's also a handy reference and an absorbing insight into the painterly mind. I am a writer by profession but I found this book fascinating and useful for my own work. An excellent workbook for anyone interested in creative endeavour of all kinds.
