Artist's Journal Workshop...
Sooo...my new North Light book will be out in June, probably, and I've had a marvelous time with this one...my editor, Holly Davis, absolutely GETS it. (The title now is Artist's Journal Workshop; Creating Your Life in Words and Pictures, which I like, though I'd probably play down the subtitle for length.) Holly and I worked together very well, with lots of give and take, and her suggestions and questions have made it a better book. She was a blast to work with.
So were the 28 terrific artists that shared their work and words for the book. I found a wide range of some of the very best artist journal keepers out there, from Hannah Hinchman to Danny Gregory, from Laura Frankstone to Enrique Flores...
I interviewed all of them, and we mined the interviews for quotes to explain and expand on the concepts in keeping a journal.
But there was FAR too much wonderful stuff to fit in the 144 pages of the book, so I'm starting a blog just for these in-depth interviews and additional art. There will be ongoing tips on journal keeping, recommended books, art, and much, more more.
We don't have the official cover yet, just a working cover, but it'll be along soon...
Watch for it, AND the blog...I'll announce it here!
