Let renowned fantasy artist James C. Christensen lead you on a journey of personal discovery with his new sketch-and-notebook series, Personal Illuminations. Each book is both a catalog of Mr. Christensen's most whimsical, outlandish, and thought-provoking sketches and ideas and a personal notebook for you to keep track of your own insights and images. Over the course of his career, Mr. Christensen has filled more than fifty notebooks with notes, sketches, and musings, and he is convinced that most people do not mine their own ideas and perceptions nearly enough. In Imagination, Mr. Christensen describes his creative process and prompts you to discover your own. In Exploration, he suggests ways to get more out of the impressions that come to you as you travel. In Enumeration, he invites you to examine your life through the making of lists and tables. And in Illumination, he taps into the personal revelations about our lives and what's important to us that come to each of us in the most unexpected circumstances.
