One of my favourite books is a water-damaged copy of The Lords/The New Creatures by Jim Morrison. There's tenuous links between what I draw and the things I heard in the Doors songs growing up, and in Jim's poetry when I was nineteen and was given this damaged book.
I love it, he's had such an influence on me too. Have you read 'The Doors of Perception' by Aldous Huxley? Where Jim got their name from? It's a great eye opener to our plastic world. It then leads you onto reading William Blake where Huxley got that name from!.. It could go on forever! xx
ReplyDeleteNo, I've always meant to! I'll have to go out book hunting... I love chasing authors' influences and references.
