Art Journal Pages

Pages from the Pink Journal...

Whenever I hear the rock song "Barracuda"

I think of drawing something like this.

I finally tried it.

Not sure it is finished, as there

is still room at the bottom of the page!

I was tempted to draw an image

of the auto, Barracuda,

but cars are not something I like

to draw...we'll see.

What do you think? Does it need 

something more?

Facing page of the Barracudas...

a medieval inspired dragon

and motifs.

Pages in the Scrappy Green Journal

that Elizabeth made, in which I am

creating art.

It has become heavily embellished

with texture, color, drawings, 

and ephemera. It's getting quite fat,

so spaces between signatures

is a good thing to help compensate!

Vintage fabric in

the spread on the right is from a

dress of my grandmother's.

Another spread in the scrappy green journal,

the yarn on the right side is from another page,

but I just left it in the scan. Drawings from

Vogue magazine. Not sure why these shoes

fascinate me. Perhaps it's because I don't

know how anyone can walk in them. The boot

in the 'foreground' was on the page

that Elizabeth created.

Elizabeth included two pages in this journal

of a line drawing of a Campbell's soup can.

I don't know if it was intentional or not,

but I love them!  Andy Warhol art is 

always entertaining, so I enjoyed searching

for appropriate quotes and 

coloring the pages. Above, soup can

number two.

Soup can number one, shown in a 

previous post.

Seth Aptor is going to feature

"Stacks" on his blog next week.

On Wednesday, September 21, 2011,

visit The Altered Page to see stacks

of journals, sketchbooks, 

hand-made books, altered books,

and book art.  Seth will have

links to participating artists' sites.

I will be featuring photos of 

my stacks of journals on this blog,
so plan to visit me!
