Review by Library Journal Review

This guide stands apart from similar recent books. It has an unusually contemporary feel, including suggestions on posting journal pages online. Instead of becoming overly preoccupied with technique and materials, Johnson (contributing editor, Artist's Magazine) emphasizes readers' goals instead, asking them to consider why they want to keep a journal and encouraging them to attend to the sublime and the mundane alike. There is a chapter devoted to integrating this creative hobby into daily life. This effective guide is full of good advice and inspiration for keeping a highly personal, individualized artist's journal and will appeal to a broad audience. (c) Copyright 2011.
