WRECK THIS JOURNAL
THIS JOURNAL
A woman from Spain has even contacted me through my Flickr account asking if she could use some of my photos in a Spanish leaflet in order to promote it in Spain, so that felt good. A lot of my friends that live in England who are on Flickr have decided to start a journal after seeing my images. How popular is Wreck This Journal amongst different age groups and audiences? I think a lot of people around my age (thirties) like to do these art journals, they are also really popular in America. They are especially popular in Amsterdam and a lot of teenagers are getting involved with them now, they have actually started doing it in one of the universities in England as part of their art degree. There is a big community behind these books and the idea is to take photos as you’re going along and share the photos of your progress with others. Thanks for getting in touch with us, I think it’s a great idea to try and spread this around Guernsey! Yes, sometimes when I even speak about art journaling people don’t know what I’m on about so it would be great to get more people involved locally. I would like to get a group of people together, almost like a book group to go over what they have done on each page and discuss how they interpreted it – that is the fun of it sharing what you have done with others. Also, for me personally it has got me through all sorts, it is definitely something I would recommend, as it’s great therapy!
