An art journal can be a very intimate expression of one’s self. This week, I encourage you to make that journal truly yours. Befriend it. Brand it. Most importantly, USE it. (You can even abuse it, art journals are very, very forgiving.)

And don’t forget to go check out Suzi Blu and her latest How to Keep an Art Journal video. I love her idea of making a pocket — perfect for hiding secret poems… or photos of secret crushes… or whatever other little intimate bits you have up your sleeve. By the way, aren’t you all just loving Suzi Blu?! I am so happy to see her name popping up everywhere — she is really creating a wave of art journaling inspiration out there. We had a lot of artists say that they have never kept an art journal, but that they would like to someday. How about letting these videos inspire you and making that someday today?
