Jason Briggs: Python for Kids (2012)

I checked this out from the library (virtually) and it's great for anyone new to Python! (I'm not exactly new but it's been a while since I've gone over the basics.)

Austin Kleon: Steal like an artist (2012)

Steal Like an Artist: 10 Things Nobody Told You About Being Creative is a book …

As one of those people cursed to be creative without any real choice in the matter I really enjoyed this book. I can think of a few people I'd like to give this to as a gift. It's probably worth re-reading every few years as well.

Kevin Wilson: Now Is Not the Time to Panic (2022, HarperCollins Publishers)

"Okay, let's make some art"

Small town teenage summer before the internet, feeling like an outsider in a place that is the same as everywhere else and always a half-beat in the past, making something weird and making something out of nothing, and holding on to that for feeling alive. At half-way I wondered, and the story pulled on ahead where it needed to go.

Kevin Wilson: Now Is Not the Time to Panic (2022, HarperCollins Publishers)

Another really funny book by Wilson. This one looks at art and what happens to it (and what happens to you) when you release it to the world. There's a few fun shout outs to punk bands from the 1980s and 1990s and even the mention of a "Wisconsin punk band who only put one out 7" record" which I found hilarious.
