Binding: PaperbackDewey Decimal Number: 745.593 EAN: 9781592534128 ISBN: 1592534120 Label: Quarry Books Manufacturer: Quarry Books Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 320 Publication Date: July 01, 2008 Publisher: Quarry Books Studio: Quarry Books Editorial Review: 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. This would be the first book to offer examples of over 1000 journal pages in one eye-catching, visual format, and would attract a wide swathe of artists who fully embrace or experiment with this medium. 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.

 Rating: - How does one evaluate a person's soul? How does a reviewer "Rate" or "Review" another artists' ART? This was a difficult task for me, because as my 1st sentence stated, it's quite difficult to rate an Artists' personal Art. Basically, it's like trying to evaluate a person's inner soul! This book is so well photographed & so detailed and colorful! Dawn DeVries Sokol has done a beautiful job at displaying all the entries that she received while organizing this book of 1000 Journal entries. The ...

To put this much work together from so many artists had to be tough. My favorite aspect is the fact that there is so much diversity. Each artist bring their own voice to their work and it bounces off the other artist's work to create a harmony of color, shapes, images and words. ... Wow maybe that was a little too tooooo....but I want to convey that this lively ...

It's so huge, by the time you finish you already want to flick through it again to remember your favorite pages. It's interesting to see the diversity of examples from other countries. Apparently when the project got up and running they were inundated by examples from people around the world wanting their work included in the book. While some pages ...

A great book for when you're stuck in a non-creative but want to be creative moment. This is an art journaling book you won't regret buying. Rating: - An Indespensible Work of Passion Huge, colorful, and important. Open to any two-page spread and you will find yourself getting lost in the creativity and playfulness (images, words, ephemera, and montages) of hundreds of brilliant people. Thank the Good Lord for all of them, but especially for "author/assembler" Dawn DeVries Sokol and her passionate work. As a life-long sketcher, doodler, cartoonist, journaler, and collector of "beautiful scraps" I am inspired beyond imagining with the turn of each giant page in this book. It will be ... Read More |
