“In Britain, eponymous lifestyle branding as we know it started in the late 1960s, with two fascinating families - the Conrans and the Ashleys - who in increasingly brilliant settings and catalogues sold rather different visions of what the new ideal upper-middle-y life looked like.” KnowsTwoDifferentVisionMiddleLateIdealsBrilliantLifestyleSettingSettingsBritainFascinatingBranding1960sCatalogues Author:Peter York
“What I have to do is utilize as best I can the ideas which objects suggest to me, connect, fuse, and color in my way the shadows they cast within me, illumine them from the inside.

“Travel opens different eyes to different things, shows things we've never seen before, shows the world from entirely different angles. That's the power of drawing and the power of travel.

“When I illustrate a cover or a book, I draw upon what the author tells me; that's how I see my responsibility as an illustrator. J.K. Rowling is very descriptive in her writing — she gives an illustrator a lot to work with. Each story is packed full of rich visual descriptions of the atmosphere, the mood, the setting, and all the different creatures and people. She makes it easy for me. The images just develop as I sketch and retrace until it feels right and matches her vision.” PeopleGivingFeelsWritingBookDifferentStoriesEasyResponsibilityVisionRichCreaturesDrawsMoodSettingSettingsAtmosphereVisualsDescriptionFeels RightIllustrators Author:Mary GrandPre

“Hope and optimism are different. Optimism tends to be based on the notion that there's enough evidence out there to believe things are gonna be better, much more rational, deeply secular, whereas hope looks at the evidence and says, "It doesn't look good at all. Doesn't look good at all. Gonna go beyond the evidence to create new possibilities based on visions that become contagious to allow people to engage in heroic actions always against the odds, no guarantee whatsoever." That's hope. I'm a prisoner of hope, though. Gonna die a prisoner of hope.” PeopleBelieveLooksDifferentEnoughActionDiesVisionPossibilityEvidenceOptimismNotionRationalGuaranteesPrisonerHeroicOddsSecularContagiousNew PossibilitiesAgainst The OddsOptimism And Hope Author:Cornel West
