In case you haven’t noticed my blog has been bombarded with a slew of Artistic and Art inspired posts. I have quite a fondness for Art and I’m even considering creating a separate blog for all my Art posts. This will be the last for a while I promise. I’m starting to miss the tech and geekyness myself. But I digress!! This post is about my new drug, my moleskine sketch book that I am using as an art journal. There are many great resources online to help one get started Suziblu’s Youtube channel was great for a bit of inspiration. As Well as Journal Slam. The journal I use is a Moleskine yes, but that is just because I am that way inclined.
I find the best thing to do is try to put something, anything, in your journal everyday. It doesn’t matter what it is, as long as it captures the essence of that day or a feeling or a moment. It doesn’t matter what it is, your art journal should be a place where you can do whatever you want. For me, whenever an event happens in your life, big or small, positive or negative, it should be documented. The art journal is the perfect place, it can be a drawing, a design, a doodle, a word. Once it’s down there, it’s down. The journal is also there ready to go anytime you’re feeling creative so make sure to always have a box of crayolas handy!
