Can’t stop at just one!
These sketchbooks are addictive and I couldn’t stop at just one. They are so chock full of insightful thoughts on art and art world and also give a rare candid glimpse of the artististic thought process and will as the technical process to create such complex masterful works. Every page offers some interesting insight or visually stimulating image.

Most creatives, whether writers, musicians or artists, spend a great deal of their lives answering the inevitable question put to them: “Where do your ideas come from?” In this remarkable ebook—the second of three volumes—fine artist and teacher John Wellington offers the answer with a giddy journey down the virtual rabbit hole of a great artist’s mind. We follow a magical progression through his 30-plus years of creativity. Part journal, part sketchbook, Idols Demons Saints details Wellington’s journey from initial inspiration—anime, Bratz dolls, even the movie Gladiator—to what he calls the “final destination” of a finished painting. Added bonuses include side trips to Shanghai, Paris, Tokyo and lushly detailed renditions of works in progress. A true masterclass in creation from an artist’s personal philosophical factory. Marvellous and inspiring.
