Another person that I&#8217;ve never heard of, another thoroughly enjoyable reading experience. This one even had some pet peeves of mine, like misspellings and typed letters in the word balloons, and it wasn&#8217;t anywhere near enough for me to dislike this book. This is the story of a painter who is trying to make it while having &#8220;painters block&#8221;. He meets his idol and tries to learn from him only to find out that he might not like what he learns. But, of course, it&#8217;s nowhere near as cheesy as that, I&#8217;m just trying not to give anything away. It&#8217;s $10 and you can send him money at: 2484 W. 73 PL Hialeah, FL 33016. He has kind of a scrambled, impressionistic art style and it works perfectly for this. Anyone who has ever tried to create anything can relate to this story. I didn&#8217;t like the ending that much, probably because I could see it coming, but it&#8217;s still a good ending for this story. Have I mentioned yet that you should try this? I know, you&#8217;re probably getting sick of me saying it, but I&#8217;ve read a lot of good stuff lately. Really.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/amarillo2.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"382\" height=\"568\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amarillo You know, as far as monotony goes, getting fantastic book after fantastic book is the kind of monotony that I can live with.
