I love the way a sketchbook/journal gets once it is almost full— crinkled pages, stained pages, pages sticking outside of the edges. You can tell it has been used, has been the the receptacle for creativity. Keeping a sketchbook/journal is so freeing. Sometimes I draw, mostly I write, and put in inspiring images. This is my favorite one to look through, because it has been my most successful mesh of a sketchbook and journal thus far. It’s almost complete, after a little under a year. I need to work on sketching/doodling more inside, though not necessarily writing less. My printmaking sketchbook is good too, though that needs more on the writing side. I think good sketchbooks invite outsiders to look into them— to delve into the author’s/artist’s mind.
