I enjoyed reading the Inside the Painter's Studio, except I found some of the interviews to be somewhat slow. I liked the conversation with artist Alexis Rockman. The way that he realized he wanted to be an artist was because he never felt like he was good at anything else, which is a way that I think a lot of teenagers feel so this makes him relatable in that sense. He was successful by showing with Jay Gorney at a young age which shows his determination to succeed in this industry. He says that he wears his pajamas to work, which I think is so cool because I am most comfy in my sweats and a sweatshirt, and you are truly yourself and in your element when you are most comfortable. He also works on the floor when painting, which I found a connection with because I always like to sprawl out on the floor and use my space rather then on tables.
Also while looking through some pictures from his site, I saw a picture of a girl and it looks like she is morphed with some type of animal and playing a sport which is an interesting way to combined different types of bodies and themes into one piece.
