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!
