I always wanted to read more but lacked the time to enjoy more books. Audiobooks seemed like a really good solution to my problem, but listening while working on design or other stuff on the computer didn't really work, my internal chatter was interrupting the audiobook and I would finish the book failing to hear or comprehend more or less the whole book.

So I tried listening while painting, at to my surprise it worked. Apparently, I can mute my thoughts while painting and fully enjoy (and focus on) the content of any audiobook, no matter the topic. Below you will find some of my paintings and the books I finished while painting them. Hope you like them and if you are an artist - try this, you'll not regret it.
