The Internet is an artist's treasure trove of images, references, and resources. But there are times when you need a more immediately tangible reference that you can hold and access without having to wait for a page to download or fear losing if the source site suddenly closes.

With that in mind, here is a list of some of my favorite reference books and music that inspire me on a daily basis. I love discovering new sources however, so if you would like to recommend a book or CD, please feel free to contact me! If you're not sure of the title, you can always look it up with my handy dandy Search Engine.
