Grunge Journal

Start having fun with your creative self and begin making a grunge journal.  Find an old hardback discarded book that will lay flat when opened to any page.  Decorate, gesso, collage, glue pages together, ANYTHING GOES.  Sketch, paint, doodle, copy text and mix with any media you have.  It is your creation and no one sees it unless you let them.  Illustrated journaling is a blast!  This old book was published in 1959.  It is not a sketchbook, but a funbook!

"Dreams Of Mine"

I created this for the Caboose Watercolor Society's Christmas party. We always have an art exchange and this year I decided to do my art on the cover of a sketch book so that my friend can enjoy it all year long! I also included some grey scale markers to make sketching a little easier. I hope she likes it!
