Product Description

Over 1,000 journal pages presented in one beautiful full-color book

Journals offer their makers a safe place to dream, doodle, rant, and reinvent themselves. They offer viewers rich, visual inspiration. There is a fascination with these revealing and often beautiful pages of self-exploration and personal expression. Journals offer a tantalizing, voyeuristic view of an interior life. Journaling has seeped into popular culture in a big way and this collection provides a wide array of ideas, techniques and themes to inspire and inform mixed media and journaling enthusiasts.

This is the first book to offer examples of over 1000 journal pages in one eye-catching, visual format. Artists can embrace and experiment with this medium and will benefit from this rich collection.

Costumer Reviews

I am totally hooked on making art journal pages and was so pumped to find a book devoted to showcasing only journal pages It is a visual feast for the eyes seeing art journal pages from various artists. Not only does it give you ideas for your own art journal but it gives you a glimpse into other people's lives. This is such an amazing book and I refer to it time and time again when I need to give my mojo a kick start or when I just want to treat myself to some visual eye candy! The amazing cover grabs you and pulls you in and from there you go on an artistic journey that leaves your mind thinking of endless possibilities for your own art journal pages.

I love this book. I sit and look at it over and over, always finding something new to be amazed and/or inspired by. It is exactly what it claims to be, 1000 Artist Journal Pages - but I was amazed to find out that the author had received submissions from all over the world to create a truly global, all encompassing and multidimensional book. It is fascinating, and best of all encouraging. The author encourages you to begin if you haven't, to face your fear of the blank page (which was unfortunately one of my greatest fears, until this book). You can't help but be inspired by any page you look at. Every art medium, from every place in the world, from 1000 different hearts and minds - are presented in this book. While it isn't a how-to book, it is so much better. There could not be instructions for such a personal art. Such a fantastic book, possibly my favourite, definately my most inspiring.
