Love the self-assignment 365 Project by Jennet Liaw with a communicative instinct that is fiercely visual. She believes that design is the ultimate platform for good ideas to become irresistible ones. Well-said girl!
What are you practicing now? Have you a personal project? You should.

Jon Juarez is not a writer but does storyboard his ideas. He is not a writer but uses words to ‘dream’ into images.
His sources of inspiration are seemingly unrelated: word lookups – internet research – space pictures – geology – clothing, etc.
He is not chaotic but most illustrations have a high density of chaotic elements and repeated patterns.
His world is one where ink and pencils exert a benevolent tyranny. The urge to express his ‘space’ is rich and deep.

Some of my favorite shots by V.K.Rees – an obvious foodie. She is a Brooklyn based photographer focusing on food, still life, and lifestyle.
The dark – almost black ones – are sumptuously well staged and lighted.
