12 great books to get inspired by and get creating!

Hi everyone, this week I bring you some of my favourite books where I look for inspiration when creating art. You may notice I have a bit of a hoarse voice, I’ve only just recovered from a strong cold (not Covid thankfully) so I did my best to power through.

I hope you like it and find it useful, please share in the comments if you also look for inspiration in books and what are your favourites.
