The Art of Silliness: A Creativity Book for Everyone
"Along the lines of Betty Edwards, Burt Dodson and even Kimon Nicolaides, Carla Sonheim's newest book strives to bring out the artist in everyone. Using various techniques taught in more 'serious' art books, Sonheim lightens things up by providing silly stories, fun creatures and other creative fare in an effort to take the left-brain thinking out of the process; a factor that hinders many new artists trying to hone their skills. Packed with creativity-inspiring exercises and ideas, THE ART OF SILLINESS will bring out the artist in everyone." -- bookfetish.org"THE ART OF SILLINESS offers dozens of fun, engaging ideas and activities that encourages us to rediscover the childlike joys of letting the imagination - and pencil - roam freely. The book helps us flex our creative muscles and gets our mind moving in different directions once again.  I like that it challenges us by drawing upside down to imagining new worlds." -- theysayimnuts.blogspot.com
