Check out the ArtJournal Stimulus Project over here at D'Blogala. It's a series of PDF and interactive discussions on artjournaling done online. D'Blogala does a series of prompts that i like very much so I suspect this online course would be well worth the $15 being charged,
Anyone who has a facebook and/ or a twitter account and/ or an etsy or artfire account, login and tweet or facebook one item not your own today. Find a cool new item or an old favorite and tell everyone.
Etsy's new facebook link is subtle, you need to heart an item to be able to facebook it from within the page. On Artfire all you need to do is click the tweet this link on the left hand side of the items page. Super easy either way. Show some love for your fellow etsy and artfire people.

This website is an interesting idea, the blogger posts a picture and then people are asked to sketch it, send in images and links of their finished work by a particular date then the original blogger posts links. Fantastic idea.Great way to get into the habit of drawing again. I wish it were done more than once a month though.
Another vid from Cordebra on YouTube. This is a journal made in 2004, shuts like a moleskine but is more colorful on the outside.
A little blurry but a nice little vid of a handmade journal filled with art. Love the Hedgehog binding and the finished journal. It’s quite nice.
This is a neat little animation featuring a notebook as a backdrop. I’m pretty sure it’s only MADE to look like stop motion animation but tis’ pretty sweet anyway. I liked it quite a bit.
Another moleskine brand sketchbook. I like this one too.
Check out this cool Moleskine brand Japanese fold notebook. I particularly like the smoke treatment.
I’m a big fan of Gary Reef’s work even if I question it’s archival stability. Painting acrylic over oils will lead to issues in the future, the acrylic will eventually peal off the top of it, but damn it’s so purty I can’t still looking. I love how he wantonly mixes his materials and makes beautiful techniques that would have given my art profs in college heart attacks. (Oils and acrylic arggghhh…..) That being said I wonder how onde could create some of these techniques without the mad mixing?
Check out Millande's little garden art studio. I say little, when I mean "OMG! LOOK AT ALL THAT COPIOUS SPACE! WOW!"
