The Creative License

My nephew is 6 months old already. It's hard to believe! His personal photographer has only just begun her paparazzi-like documentation of his life.
...

Even younger still, is the wonderful new book by Danny Gregory called The Creative License: Giving Yourself Permission to be the Artist You Truly Are! I just received my copy yesterday (thank you Danny!) and was so excited for him and all of the people who will read this book. You can preview it here and see how truly gorgeous and inspiring it is. If anyone you know needs that little push of inspiration to get them drawing/collaging/accessing that creative spirit in them, this is a perfect holiday gift.

*I am delighted that Danny included one of my journal pages in the book and let me shoot his author photo.

Reasons to be grateful for Andrea Scher:
- Finally I have an author's photo that people compliment me on (I guess it's not an accurate likeness of my ugly mug!)
- I started blogging exactly two years ago and ONLY because you told me to.
- I loved visiting with you on both coasts
- You are a constant inspiration and delight!

Your pal,
Danny

If you are ever in the Washington, DC area, please let me know, so I can ask you to photograph my little ones. Beautiful (both of you)! (And the book, too!)

Yay! I love Danny Gregory's books!!
I just saw my friends 4 month old.... and he looks not unlike this picture of your nephew. Babies are just too much... it's amzing how their little hands and feet and mouths have such detail on such a small small scale.....
