I think this book is perfect to address creative ruts, when we feel like we’ve explored all the usual avenues of inspiration. I love that it’s interactive with a mix-and-match prompt system.

I love that at any moment, you can pick it up and flip through it to mix and match ideas so that you always have a reason and content for creating. Choose a color combination, a subject, and a medium at random, and off you go. 

From Samantha's list on inspiring creativity (from an artist).
