Steal Like an Artist by Austin Kleon
Looking at this title, you’re probably thinking… what? If you “steal” doesn’t that mean you’re unoriginal? Well, the truth is, nothing is really original. YOU are the one that makes it original!
Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art by Scott McCloud
I freakin’ LOVE this book. To be honest, I have not read comics or manga in a while (since I’m currently buried in text books) and didn’t think too much of them. But Scott will change your preconceived notions and open your eyes to a whole new world of what it means to be a “comic.”
