I just stumbled upon the best bunch of recommendations of Art Books you can possibly find on the internet, written by James Gourney, one of the most accomplished Illustrators and mentors alive.
I seldom repost other blogs’ content. For some reason it doesn’t feel right, even when the repost would be something along the lines of: “Hey, read the amazing thing this guy just wrote!”, and the author would surely be happy to know that someone appreciates their work.

However, spreading James Gourney’s advice always feels like sharing some kind of wonder you want other people to know about, so here you go: James Gourney’s Survival Guide for Art Students.

My only regret is that this post makes my Wish List bigger and bigger, with no sign that my monthly income will ever manage to catch up.
