Books that Every Artist Should Read. I love books.
At the start of every morning and end of everyday, you’ll find me curled over my kindle. I firmly believe that where you are 5 years from now, is determined by the number of books you read and seminars you attend. If you want to stay employable and valuable as a person in today’s ever changing world, you really can’t afford to rest on your laurels and try to skate by. You’ll quickly get overtaken by the people who were honing their skills and leaning new things to stay valuable. So… here are a list of books I recommend that every artist reads – to improve your personal and creative life. Self-Improvement The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People – The book that everyone should start with. Productivity The Willpower Instinct – The book so valuable I devoted two podcasts to it. Creativity The War of Art – If you’ve ever felt tired of using Blender and wanting to give up, this book is for you.
