An illustrator, Maria Kalman, talks on iTunes U at Stanford U http://tiny.cc/tv6pe. It sounds nice that a person can perceive own daily life is filled with wonderful stuff and experience, so that it is enough to stay at own town to be inspired.
She wrote illustration-blog for NY Times http://tiny.cc/fou0w and has own website http://tiny.cc/prg9x.
