Product Description
Over 1,000 journal pages presented in one beautiful full-color bookJournals 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.

 1000 pages November 23, 2008
I bought this book because a specific artist I find inspiring was featured in the book and I wanted to see more of her work. I also thought it would be interesting to see how other artists interpreted their journal pages, and it was. On the down side, I felt the editors tried to fit too many journal pages onto one page of their book, resulting in smaller images of each artist's work and thus making it harder to appreciate the details of the artwork.
Wonderful Inspiration! November 17, 2008

I wasn't an art journaler... at least I wasn't until I stumbled onto this book. I picked it up in a bookstore, and was instantly enthralled. This is what a book about art journalling should be -- lots and lots of great illustrations. These are clear, and colorful, and detailed enough that you can read the writing on the most detailed pages. Best is the wonderful assortment of styles of journalling reflected in this collection. Collage, sketching, watercolor painting... there is something to inspire the most amateur of journallers, as well as the most advanced of artists. This is definitely a book I'll be looking at over and over again. It'd make a great gift along with a blank book for someone, too!
Inspiration galore! November 17, 2008

If you haven't seen this book already I think it is one of those Must-own-book because there is so much to look at that you'll never be finished with it! It's filled to the brim with many talented artist and it holds a big range of diverse visual journaling styles! There are collages, doodles, sketches, writing and photos on page after page with views inside the private Art Journals from people all over the world!
This book has +300 pages and almost no text - but very many (1000!) pages (though some are photos of the whole spread and those counts as two pages). You can read what the artist has written and journaled about on the pages and you understand that you are not alone in you angst and artistic fears!
It's an art book that probably will inspire anyone to do a little art journaling (but probably a lot). If you're experienced in the mixed media field you will totally want to keep this book as a reference guide and inspiration tool for different styles, artists and prompts. If you're new to Art Journals and collage I think you will be curious about starting after just a few minutes!
I'm glad I bought it and it will be taken down from my book shelf many many times in the future.
One of the Many Artists...But Always Thankful October 31, 2008
I am one of the many artists that appear in this beautiful book. I will always appreciate the fact that my own offerigns appear with so many that are clearly a continuing inspiration to myself and many others.

I absolutely loved this book! as a visual journaler I am always looking for inspiration. This book has so many examples of interesting journaling styles that immediately started getting my juices flowing!
If you are looking for a step by step book, this is not it. If you want to see other people's pages or to get inspiration, get this book, you won't be disappointed.
