I don’t often look back at my old art journals unless I’m showing someone else my work. It’s not for any particular reason; I’m just more interested in the process, generally, than the outcome. I also share a lot of my work online so don’t have need to reference the originals.
Yesterday, though, I flipped through my most recently finished journal and realized that there are several pages that I haven’t shared online (see above). Some pages I love and some I don’t — but that’s exactly as it should be.
My art journal, after all, is a playground where I can explore, express myself, mess up, and play. (So is yours!)
PS. Watch a full flip-through of this journal:
