Shape Of Ideas: An Illustrated Exploration of Creativity
By: Grant Snider
Kansas Notable Book 2018
What does an idea look like? And where do they come from?
Grant Snider’s illustrations will motivate you to explore these questions, inspire you to come up with your own answers and, like all Gordian knots, prompt even more questions.
Whether you are a professional artist or designer, a student pursuing a creative career, a person of faith, someone who likes walks on the beach, or a dreamer who sits on the front porch contemplating life, this collection of one- and two-page comics will provide insight into the joys and frustrations of creativity, inspiration, and process—no matter your age or creative background.
Hardcover; 144 pages
ISBN: 978-1419723179

Praise for The Shape of Ideas...
"The tongue-in-cheek wit and self-deprecating style make this a pleasant introduction to the joy and frustration of making any kind of art, and the beautifully designed presentation—with a charming die-cut cover—is a fine proof of concept."
--Publishers Weekly
"'What do ideas look like? Where do they come from?'...
Surprisingly, Snider’s beautifully composed cartoons have cogent answers to those questions — or if they don’t, he’s at least an urgent asker.
He’s created something unique: a synthesis of comics, philosophy, and poetry: a thoughtful new way of packaging eternal ideas in cartoon boxes."
--The Los Angeles Review of Books
