I picked up a little book called Steal Like an Artist, and it's great. <br /><br />Oh! National Geographic! That would be a great resource. We have a bunch in the garage in rubbermaid containers. :p (Why do we keep things like that?)Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02531079334473031464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1981283522273623061.post-60219587788105101242015-10-19T05:39:10.587-07:002015-10-19T05:39:10.587-07:00I'm not a huge Bacon fan, but I do find it int...I'm not a huge Bacon fan, but I do find it interesting to learn his sources of inspiration.

I guess it depends a lot on my mood at the moment.<br /><br />I do like how he manipulated the photos, though.
