Show & Tell # 1 ~ An Inspiration to me...

In my mother’s house, sitting on the table where we never could eat, in the room that we seldom used, next to the couch that we seldom sat, below the vase that we never could touch, you will find a book. Since I was a little girl, I have always been captivated and intrigued by this book called Door Posts by Timothy R. Botts. The Author/Artist used words, to create images, that foster understanding. Behind each page is a new moment, and a new experience. His use of color, texture & placement (typography) allows the viewer to grasp the his message well before even reading the words. In my opinion, the images in this book are so "timeless" and a true reflection of the books source of inspiration. As an artist I am heavily influenced, by my faith. Just as I can pick up the Bible, and re-read the same verse, ultimately getting some totally new measure of understanding, the same holds true for this book. It never gets old to me, and whenever I get discouraged or feel like I am having a “DESIGN BLOCK” I pick up this book, and the juices start flowing again.
