Want to win $500 worth of books?

 I thought so!
Chronicle Books is giving away a stash of books worth up to $500
to one lucky reader. Not only that, but it is YOUR book selection!
NOT ONLY THAT, but if you comment here (and like what you see)
you can win a copy of my list of books too!!!
How awesome is that? 
If you comment and you want to put this in your blog
(and unless you don't like books *gasp*, you should)
I will comment on yours! I like to increase chances of winning things :)
So here goes...my much debated list:
Handmade Nation: The rise of DIY Art, Craft and Design
Reprodepot Pattern Book: FLORA: 225 vintage-inspired  textile designs
The Paper Marbling Kit: Materials, Techniques and Projects
Graffiti Art Coloring Book  (Umm..AWESOME!)
Music Listography:Your Life in (play) Lists

Lennon Legend: An Illustrated Life of John Lennon
The Exquisite Book: 100 Artists Play a Collaborative Game (one of the artists is Dave Eggers...and I L-O-V-E his writing. Please read What is the What)
Sketchbooks: The Hidden Art of Designers, Illustrators, and Creatives
Angaza Afrika: African Art Now  (isn't the cover just lovely?)
Street Sketchbook: Inside the Journals of International Street and Grafitti Artists
Rex Ray: Art + Design
Patterns: New Surface Designs
1,000 Journals Project
Artist's Color Manual: The Complete Guide to Working with Color
Stencil 101 Decor
Paper Cutting: Contemporary Artists, Timeless Craft

WHEW! That took awhile.
In my next post I will talk about all the art I am not making.

  9. Would I like to win $500 worth of books? Yes. Yes I would.

    Good luck to you!

    (P.S. I've read/looked through the 1000 Journals book, and it's got some really interesting art in it! It made me want to start a similar, albeit much smaller, project...)
