I love the little moleskine notebooks, but my pens and markers tend to bleed through the paper, leaving the other side almost unusable. I’m now testdriving a Hand Book Artist Journal. Same dimensions as a classic pocket moly, 3.5 x 5.5 inches, but with 128 pages of thicker stock than the moly’s 192 pages. […]
Trying some new things - especially crayolas over random blocks of text.
I’ve been working on a Moleskine Japanese-fold notebook. The pages are thicker than the regular moleskine, so I can paint and glue to my heart’s content. I’m working on two-page spreads, but maybe by the time I get one side of the book done I’ll be ready to move on to 3 or 4 pages […]
And I do mean bright! Two more pages a la Teesha Moore
I love cadmium yellow. It was a little bright for this project, and unfortunately distracts from the cute characters, but I was mainly interested in how my various pens would react to the paint’s surface.
This page was painted with some cheap acrylic from the […]

Simply aim the COLORVATOR in the general direction of the offending beasties and upon impact with the patented laser lamp all associated body parts explode in […]
Someone gave me this cute little tin; it’s a little bigger than a matchbox. I found it’s the perfect size to hold small magazine clippings of graphics, photos or words that I can use as journal prompts. It fits nicely in the top drawer of my bedside table alongside a glue stick and a bunch […]

I decided I’ve done enough worrying about my house. The […]
While wandering the virtual shelves at amazon.com, I found this book, Soul Collage: An Intuitive Collage Process for Individuals and Groups>. I read the blurb about it and decided to do my own analysis of my collage. I usually think my collages have to have some ironic or symbolic meaning, but now I’m just putting […]
Mental blocks can take on an infinite variety of forms and disguises. There are the Barmy Brain Waves, the Dots of Doubt, the Cracqueled Cerebellum, and many more. If you’re trapped in a sealed room with no windows or doors with only a mirror, how do you escape? (corny answer to this junior-high school riddle […]
“It’s going to be beyond fashion.” (quote from fashion mag.) Hmmmmm. If we think about just what that might really mean perhaps we don’t need the fashion mags or anyone else telling us what to wear.
I experimented with some magazine clippings after looking at some of the faces Teesha Moore has made. Mine didn’t turn […]
