I already wrote a post about gapingvoid. I just love the cartoons and I also love the “How to be creative” book that Hugh McLeod wrote made freely available to download here in pdf format. Now he has released a “dead tree” and kindle format book named Ignore Everybody and 39 other keys to creativity. I’d have prefered that he had also a pdf version too since he has always been an internet artist and I don’t like buying non novel books in paper format anymore since I know that they’ll end up using space and collecting dust in a shelf. However, I made an exception this time since I’m a big fan of him.

The book gives us the insight of how the cretive process starts and how the motivation to do it has to come from ourselves and that nobody knows how good an idea is if it’s really new and maybe even people who are close to us will resist it since it might change the balance in our relationships but that should not stop us. I think this can be useful not only for the more classic creative people “musicians, painters, cartoonists, etc.” but for everyone. How to pursue your goals and achieve your targets in life. The book is obviously full of his lovely cartoons drawn at the back of cards. Absolutely recommended.
