2013 Art Journal-along

[trinalocakary]

I am making my changes journal about ongoing changes, not about stopping things for 10 weeks (and likely failing) but about long term changes, reducing my bad habits in the hope that I can control them better.

So I remade the cover, also I keep tearing out pages which has to stop so if I mess up I will be putting in covered pages with some of my ridiculously huge paper stash.  Also I think today I will just do basic color washes on pages since it is a journal I carry with me and I can't do too much background wise on the go

New cover
 

I am also going to do some stuff with pockets and envelopes to keep copies of stuff I write on line and print off

i've been working on a couple other projects to i'm put my art journal aside, except for some unfinished sketches. i did come across a book that i wanted to recommend thought

"page by paige" by laura lee is a graphic novel based on a teenage girl who has moved to new york city with her family. she's shy and awkward, and used her art journal as a way to express her feelings. it's kind of a combination between journal entries and cartoon interactions . i liked it and so did my 10 year old.

I am hoping to get a used book and start art journaling.
