| From 100 Books That Should Be Written |
I’ve just found this blog of books that should be written, and I think it’s pretty great. Moral of the story: If you start a blog about making book covers, I’m gonna be all over that. (see From Cover to Cover)

| I love this one too! Although…if Jessica Hische wrote a book, the whole cover would be hand-lettered. |
It’s also been a pretty fantastic week on the Creative Mornings front, with Austin Kleon and Seth Godin both rocking my world.
Austin Kleon on video is way different than I imagine him – I think I imagined his voice being different. He also makes me reconsider the way I blog and the way I show the work that I’ve done. Maybe in the future, I’ll start to use this blog as a place for compiling information, and brainstorming. Kind of a mixture of sketchbook and book of inspiration.
Also, Austin Kleon answered a question that I asked on tumblr once, and it was cool.

Seth Godin is a rockstar in the new media/advertising space, and he really brings it in this talk. It’s about making a conscious choice about what sort of clients you want to work with, and actively seeking out those clients. I love the line at the end too – “I have no doubt that the people in this room are going to succeed. The question is; are you going to matter?”
That accounts for 90% of what keeps me up at night.
Have a great weekend!
