Excellent prompts for new or seasoned art journaler in the beginning, then, literally an art-gallery of artist journal pages from all over the world.
Beautifully done with great color quality.
Love the layout.
Lots of new artists to check out!
(um, I have a few pieces in the book too)... But really, I would have bought and loved it just the same!

Ta-da! It;s one-and-a-half years since I first started reading this book. It has been on my art-supplies table the whole time (it became a sort of coffee-table book). Meagan got me this quirky book--1,000 pages of art-journal pages from different artists. It's a little oversized, half-way between hard and paper back, and in full color. It is a full-immersion book, like walking through an art museum dense with paintings that are so intriguing they swallow you up. I spent a lot of time with ...more
i found this terribly inspirational. It was outstanding to find so much lovely art in one place and to think it came from personal journals. As I paged through it, I made notes of artists and techniques I wanted to try. I was a little disappointed I didn't know any of the artists though.
pure love.

This book inspires me to artify my journals, in addition to just getting or making a journal/blank book to do up artsy style like these amazing pages!! I'm jealous of the creativity that just fills the pages ...
Thhis book is fabulous! If you are at all interested in keeping a journal, this book is full of inspiration. It consists of 1,000 journal pages from people all over the world. If you are interested in how people express themselves, this book will fascinate you. If you are interested in seeing how you "rate" as an artist, especially if you don't think of yourself as a full-fledged one yet, this is for you. Everyone I have shown this book to is impressed. It's a bit like a short-story bo...more
Lots of examples of pages; but, not for one sitting. By the end it gets a bit repetitive. A few stood out and this book helped me focus on what was appealing and what wasn't about this format.
Inspirational! I adore this book like my own child. Whenever I lack creative inspiration, I flip through this book for a little while and I am back on track.
This is like Sabrina Ward Harrison's book 'Spilling Open', but add hundreds more artists to it and hundreds more pages. Awesome inspiration for journal keepers.
perusing actually. it's a visual rather than a literary experience.
i loved looking through this & will likely get my own copy. it is really inspiring to look at the personal, graphical ramblings of other creative minds. it has inspired me to take up journaling again & use it in a new way.

This book has some amazingly beautiful and creative art journal pages. Now if I could just figure out how the artists and journalists made them....
I was really hoping this would kick start me into to keeping a journal again. Did not.
A visual treat. Some of the pages are mediocre, but others are truly fabulous.

Inspiring! I've done three since receiving this book as a gift :)
a lot of inspiration in a small space
It's a constant source of inspiration!
Gorgeous and inspiring!
So many beautiful pages!
This book is full of beautiful and interesting journal entries. I find it most useful to open up to pages randomly when struggling with writing and journaling and seeing what happens from there. A friend let me borrow it, so unfortunately I have to give it back to her, but I have a feeling I will be purchasing / coming back to it sometime in the near future.
lotsa inspiration
It's so inspiring to look through these pages! Definitely a great source for journaling ideas. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that a few of the pages are repeated, sometimes not even crediting the correct artist, which bothered me a bit. :)
omg, i got this the other day & it was exciting to see my very dear pals, lia k. & nancy b. in there!!! quite an inspirational read...
Yet another book I saw at the bookstore which fascinated me... I'm currently charged with the desire to be creative.
beautiful and inspiring book
I love to flip through this inspiring book.
