Grunge Journal

Start having fun with your creative self and begin making a grunge journal.  Find an old hardback discarded book that will lay flat when opened to any page.  Decorate, gesso, collage, glue pages together, ANYTHING GOES.  Sketch, paint, doodle, copy text and mix with any media you have.  It is your creation and no one sees it unless you let them.  Illustrated journaling is a blast!  This old book was published in 1959.  It is not a sketchbook, but a funbook!

Thought I would give you a peak inside of my sketchbook. This was for an assignment in Sketchbook Skool this week. Drawing and painting in your sketchbook is very relaxing and hopefully will become habit forming! You can read the story behind this sketch on my blog.   http:://www.leadawood.com/blog
