I loved this post--I am a firm believer of the "use it or lose it" school of thought but that rule applies to EVERYTHING not just creativity. I believe anyone can be taught to draw (or paint or journal, whatever). Will they achieve the same level as someone born with what I call the artistic gene? Maybe... but it will certainly come at a higher price---hard work and practice, practice, practice!! Then again, I imagine even artistic geniuses practice. If you want to be creative then create, read, learn, copy others, whatever it takes!!! I say it is a conscious decision. My work may never (OK will never) hang in the Louvre but do I care?! It's the end result which first drew me to art journaling/collage but now it is the process of creating that soothes this "savage beast"!!Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06033556563428991111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21078238.post-46389650872936350142012-04-13T09:21:45.878-07:002012-04-13T09:21:45.878-07:00Love your work re "pages" from your sket...Love your work re "pages" from your sketchbooks etc.<br />Awesome book give-away, too!lindjoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18402040544814017209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21078238.post-82817309775691167302012-04-13T04:03:03.729-07:002012-04-13T04:03:03.729-07:00This book looks awesome!This book looks awesome!Mouseybrathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10223646350550896157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21078238.post-51323913119040385452012-04-12T22:29:27.338-07:002012-04-12T22:29:27.338-07:00I would love this book, I could add it to all my H...I would love this book, I could add it to all my Howard Zinn books....love you too.Malliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08689417194360257281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21078238.post-31265878907275927312012-04-12T19:04:03.849-07:002012-04-12T19:04:03.849-07:00Loved your comments.

I love the Art Journal "book" I bought from you because I believe, like you, that the idea of a perfect journal is not conducive to the purpose. As a writing teacher, I can't imagine making my kids have a perfected journal. I believe in the process of art and writing, in discovering yourself through the process. For me, all art and all writing and the combination of both is about exploring who you are as a person, and that is what is perfect about the process!Kelly Locknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21078238.post-51577161962827887162012-04-12T17:43:21.768-07:002012-04-12T17:43:21.768-07:00Thanks for your stance on the process of art and c...Thanks for your stance on the process of art and creative work, rather than the overemphasis on the product.

These type of books should be viewed as inspiration for people to start a visual journal not to feel intimidated by them.<br /><br />I tried to encourage people in a recent post. It is unfortunate that people believe that they have to have artistic skill to write in or create a journal.Antares Cryptoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12197876328401157462noreply@blogger.com
