_________________________________________
Artist’s Archive is unlike any other reference collection. The focus is not solely on the image material but rather how you can use the images to create original works with no influence from repetitive online image searches. I’m guilty of turning towards popular websites when looking for reference images and inspiration. Not only does scrolling through image feeds slow your process and quiet your artistic voice, it also leaves you open to using copyrighted images unlawfully. Every image contained in this volume is open to use for reference freely. You will be guided through this book with helpful prompts and exercises, informative tips, color palettes, a final project that emphasizes digging deep into the material, and a page of bonus images.
The art collected for this series has been an ongoing project over the past 10 plus years. I’ve spent full days and late nights collecting hundreds of works in the public domain from libraries, museum collections, and internet archives. Each of the featured images has been edited for clarity and to bring out its original beauty. Let the art inform you, open your mind, and help you see the beauty in the everyday.
