Jessie“I came across this delightful book from another RecLeague-r. If you’re like me and can’t seem to get past the first week of The Artist’s Way, you’ve gotta check out this book. Composed of her notes as an “Accidental professor”, Lyndabarry has all of these rad and super fun creative exercises sprinkled throughout her musings, sketches, and literal homework assignments. Check it out!”
