ok ok I know..

I know my last post was about journaling...but I can't help it! :) A site I really like to frequent is called Book By It's Cover http://www.book-by-its-cover.com/ They have a whole section dedicated to sketchbooks & journals. I always love to see the inner workings of fellow artist's creative processes, & BBIC sketchbook series lets me do that! Like I mentioned in my previous post, journals all have a very different feel & style, very specific to their owners. Take a look at a few of these entries:

This image is taken from Chris Kyung's sketchbook-tons of layers, graphite, & the book itself is bound by the lovely red metal spiral at the top.(http://www.book-by-its-cover.com/sketchbooks/sketchbook-series-chris-kyungcover.com/sketchbooks/sketchbook-series-chris-kyung)

















While these images-from Karen Klassen- are full of bold color, multiple supplies are used, & each book has it's own look. (http://www.book-by-its-cover.com/sketchbooks/sketchbook-series-karen-klassen)



I absolutley love how, just by taking a book full of blank paper, so many different outcomes can be created. I also appreciate how each of the artist's featured in the series is allowing anyone with access to the net, to take a peek into their work. Which, through my experience, sometimes leaves you feeling a little exposed & open for judgement. But all in all the series is exciting to read through & look at & appreciate for all the work that went into these little worlds called journals. Hopefully you can find a little inspiration in them as well. :)
