this book is defintely eye candy and inspiration but not a how to book. i would have loved to have a book that shows how some of these pages were done step by step but this book is still wonderful. it has given me many ideas already.

What a beautiful book. I am so honored to have had my pages accepted and included. The pages were clear and wonderfully reproduced. It's an honor to have my art along side such amazing artists. The other journal pages are indeed inspiring and great eye candy. I like the simplicity of the book.

An Indespensible Work of Passion July 31, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
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 a long time (if ever) before it gets slid into my studio bookshelves for I will be pouring over it daily. This is a portable library, a floating museum, a veritable mountain of inspiration. THIS is the "movable feast!" I have already added it to my list of books that inspire me on my blog: www.TeaWithMcNair.typepad.com. I am eager to meet Dawn at the ZNE Convenzione here in the Bay area (Aug. 22-24, 2008) Meanwhile, I have ONE THOUSAND pages of creativity to sit with at Cafe Zoetrope and make me giggle, tear up, and want to crack open my sketchbook many more minutes each day.
Call your local independent bookshop and get it today. Mine came in two days--it is well-worth the cover price.
 Incredible inspiration August 4, 2008

Whether you use (or would like to start using!) an art journal to document your days or access and express your inner creativity, this book will inspire. 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 are completely magnificent artworks there are also some very simple, playful, even childish pages - so you won't feel intimidated or dissuaded from taking up pen/paint and paper yourself, always a risk with these types of books - you can buy them in a bid to become inspired but actually end up the opposite! Not so here. There are naive scribblings that can be as insightful and interesting as beautifully designed masterpieces. This book will give you ideas and inspiration on two levels - technique and topics. Some pages have clearly taken hours and hours to complete, some are of a quick and simple style that seems easier to accomplish amid a busy lifestyle. Either way you'll get ideas. Then there's the dilemma of 'what can I write about?' From incidental observations to spiritual contemplation, you'll come across triggers and ideas in other people's work you might like to explore. And even if you prefer to just look at art rather than create your own, this is simply a beautiful book and reading other people's art journal entries can reveal sometimes intimate and always intersting glimpses into the creative process.
great inspiration August 3, 2008

This book is wonderful. As I leafed thru the pages I had amazing inspiration to grab various art supplies and try something new. 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.
