Zen Pencils: Creative Struggle by Gavin Aung Than
4.0
Creative Struggle is wonderful. It is such an uplifting, inspirational book. I was familiar with Zen Pencils before picking up this book, so I was thrilled to see this collection.
My favorite piece was the section on Stephen King and his giant desk. Its inspiring to see the priorities of someone you consider to be the best of the best.
I really enjoyed seeing the struggles and successes of some of the most well known people that have ever lived. It was inspiring to read about how they all persevered in spite of what life threw at them. I found myself learning quite a lot about the human behind familliar names ( like Frida Khalo and the bus!! OMG THAT WOMAN WAS INCREDIBLE).
Overall I thought this book was great. Probably not something I would reread as a whole, but I would absolutely go back to some of the more memorable sections.
Recommended for: People who are struggling with inspiration, anyone who is feeling discouraged, or just in need of a pick me up. Anyone who appreciates stories told through art.
