'Bullshit or Fertilizer' -- review by deevaa

'Bullshit or Fertilizer' - tough love for artists on the fence by Pierre Bennu, is an amazing little book that I stumbled over via a couple of friends at xanga.

The night I received my copy, I crawled into bed to check it out, intending only to skim read a few pages and look at the pictures. This book has such a feel good hook that I didn't put it down until I was done reading the whole damn thing, and now it is in my handbag so that I can pick it up, or lend it out, anytime the mood hits me.

It is hard to define why BSoF is so good, its a self-help, motivational book with style. The book is divided into small, bitesize chunks, each acting like a little blowdart of encouragement The illustrations are great, the text is well written and witty, and the layout is great (OK, so jamyla paid me to say that.) What you come away with is this sense of well being, a sense of confidence in your own ability, and that alone is something I'd pay thousands for!

If you are a writer, a singer, a painter, a poet - an artist of any sort, you need this book. It is only US$10 (plus p&p) and I swear it is well worth it. It'll make you want to write, sing or paint, It'll make you want to get your stuff together and BE what you want to be (not what you feel you have to be).

That is: 'Bullshit or Fertilizer - tough love for artists on the fence' by Pierre Bennu and the only place you can buy it from is is HERE.

(so get to it)
