"What this book has going for it is the direct comments by the artists that Freeman-Zachery interviewed. They were honest and not in the least bit interested in romanticizing their lives as artists. I didn't love the art that some of them made, but there were a couple of artists whose work got me intrigued and sparked an interest in exploring some media that haven't appealed to me before. There are some gems scattered through these pages, and since I read it mostly on the bus or standing at bus stops, I didn't write any of them down -- I'll have to take it out of the library again and re-read one day.
It didn't make it to my "purchase" list for two reasons. Although the book pays lip service to the idea that people can be creative in many different ways, it has a somewhat condescending tone towards creative efforts that don't fall into the fine arts category. The comment that "craftiness is where you see something in a book or magazine and figure out how to do it yourself" almost got the book sent back to the library before I got through the first chapter.
I also found the design of the book to be seriously annoying. Note to book designers -- don't use small, fine, italic type set against murky/dark patches of color -- not even as a way to distinguish sidebars from regular text!"
"You should really take a look at this bookk! this is one of our very good family friends! She is the best author and artist! Check out www.ricefreemanzachary.com"
"I'll be honest...normally I detest these kinds of books. Maybe it's because nowadays, they seem to be quite cliquey, the same artists over and over, the same old yadda yadda yadda...but Rice managed to get a nice cross-section of people in on this (unsurprising, really, given her somewhat catholic tastes I suppose) though there are a few of those "familiar names.""
