Two page journal spread I made last night using some of the goodies I ordered from Collage Joy in Canada. In addition to the Collage Joy goodies (see photos below), I also used Cram Creme tape I bought at Giant Robot, little stickers from G.R., Accepted By Labels (have no idea where I found those) and Sakura Gelly Roll Glaze pens in black and white.

I think hubby thought I was insane as I coo'd over the Mary Jane label...and the owl cards. I'm starting to think maybe I am a wee bit crazy...

The new Juxtapoz is worth picking up just for the article on Eduardo Recife alone!

I finished Chris Ware's Acme Novelty Datebook Volume 2 last night. Absolutely loved it. There's ink spots, marks and all sorts of little tidbits throughout the book that gives it the look and feel of a "real" journal. I wonder what size the original sketchbooks are. I love that not only does he draw everything everywhere but he adds comments to the sketches in addition to dating them. I also enjoyed the comics about him that are sprinkled throughout. Even if you're not a "comics" fan (and how can you not be), this is a must have (in addition to volume 1) for your library. It will get you itching to pick up a pen and start drawing...

I can't get this image out of my mind...This article has stayed with me since I read it. How many incidents like this go unreported?
