I love the work that I'm making for The 100 Day Project at this moment. It feels good to be so in love with my own work. I have definitely gone through phases where I feel apologetic about what I've created. Not right now. I love this work. And I'm so excited to explore where I might be headed with this style of work. Yay!
Also: I don't know who needs to hear this, but here it is: no one else can tell you whether or not your work is good (or bad). You have to create for your own eye. If other people love stuff that you hate, it's not enough. If other people hate stuff that you love, then you need to shut them out. Your opinion is THE opinion that matters. One of the things I teach my Design Boot Camp students is how to develop confidence in their own eye. You can do it!
Without any further ado, here are days 53-57:
And now I have filled the entire little art journal I made for my 100 Day Project. So it seems like the perfect time to share a quick flip through of that junque journal:
As I mentioned in the video, I share how to make this book form in my A Year of Gelatin Printing (& Bookbinding) Online Class and I will be sharing how I make these pages quickly and easily in my Art Parts Live Online Class. Hope to see you in class!
Thanks for stopping by!

Very cool to see how some elements pop up repeatedly, BUT in different contexts or colors — and I can see how this is a resource for looking back later for inspiration. Do you make notes on what paint colors you used to create certain effects? Or can you just recall it by looking at it? I’ve found that when I look back through old art journals, I can’t always remember how I did something – which is frustrating – but I also find that trying to write down & label my color mixes slows me down too much when I’m “in the zone.”

I’m inspired by the development of your style and command of the techniques honed as you blast through page after page of journal territory. Very impressive and inspiring.The challenge of it takes my breath away but also emboldens me to step into it, make marks, make more marks and create. Love it.

I have to confess that I don’t make notes. When I look back at past work, I’m usually less interested in recreating something and more interested in reinterpreting it. So if I see a color combo that’s interesting in past work, I’ll think about WHY it’s interesting and see if I can create a color combo that’s equally as interesting. Does that make sense?
