The Muse Stops by For a Chat

Posted by Jacques - January 10, 2009

The Awe Manac Cover Jill Badonsky of The Muse Is In stopped by for a chat. During her visit, I was able to ask her a few questions and learn more about some of the cool things that she has going on. She was also kind enough to provide a copy of today’s page from her book, The Awe-Manac. I picked this book up at Barnes and Noble, and if you’re a fan of inspiration and creativity, then this is the book to get. If anything, you have to visit her website to take a look at some of her artwork. Below is our discussion which you can find on her blog.

Jacques from www.theslackermethod.com is the second stop on The Awe-manac Blog Tour: Take a look at his site… there’s lots of fun, interesting and practical pieces of wisdom there and today’s Awe-manac page is posted there. (It may be up this evening as Jacques is a busy Slacking).

Jacques: The first question I want to ask is, who does all the cool artwork on your website?!
Jill: Hi Jacques. I do the art work at www.themuseisin.com . My friend, Jeff Kahn, animated the illustration on the front page with Flash. Thanks for calling it cool. The Awe-manac has over 400 of my llustrations in it.

Jacques: Let’s address this book you have out in stores, The Awe-manac. Why do we want it, and Where do we get it?
Jill: Well, in Slacker terms, this would be a one-stop read for people who want a convenient place to get a dose of daily humor, a creativity prompt, a glimpse of history for the day, a little inspiration, a view of some art that was sometimes done on the fly, and a book heavy enough to press flowers when you’re not reading it.

The reports I’m getting from the people who HAVE bought The Awe-manac is that it is a lot of fun and they are having a hard time reading just one page at a time, but don’t take my word. There are some great testimonials at www.amazon.com
