I thought maybe compiling a list of art journal sites & blogs that make one’s heart sing might be a good idea. I know I’d be interested in being introduced to new gluebookers, art journalers, sketchers, etc.
Here’s a couple I really enjoy:
Anybody else want to share some great sites?

One year from now, you'll wish you had started today.April 28, 2010 at 3:36 pm #508251Hi, everyone. I found this journal on Flickr. I don’t know anything about her, but I am very impressed with this one. I have looked at it a bunch.
When it comes up you can click on slideshow and watch for a bit.

There is some adult content, (not much), on this one. So I let you know.Jake

Many thanks Debby – I’m blushing! I highlight good sketchbook blogs on Making A Mark virtually every Sunday.
I totally endorse you highlighting Roz’s journal – she has lots of really great recommendations for people making their own art journals. I’m always quoiting her on my blog.
My Sketchbook Journal – which includes sequences related to my travels in different parts of the world – is Travels with a Sketchbook in…… You can see the trip links in the side column. In it I also list a number of what i regard as good sketchbook blogs in the blogroll.
Some blogs worth taking a look at which I’d like to highlight here are:
-
[*] Urban Sketchers[/URL] – which is a group blog with correspondents all over the world all sketching their urban environment. i’m one of those correspondents. This one is great for seeing many, many different styles of sketching. So if you’ve not sketched much before why not take a look at this one. It’s also a great example of how you can create a theme for a sketch journal and involve a groupo of people.
[*]Liz and Borromini[/URL] are Australian and produce great travel sketches. Check out the one of Liz’s recent trip to Europe in Liz Steel – Summary of 5 week trip to the UK and France Autumn 2009
[*]Julie Oakley – One Mile From Home[/URL] is a great example of a sketchbook project – a sketch a day for a year done while taking exercise which took Julie one mile from home
[*]Laura Frankstone also produces great Travel sketches in LaurelinesBLOG: [/COLOR][/COLOR][/SIZE]Making a Mark[/URL]

One year from now, you'll wish you had started today.June 8, 2010 at 10:03 pm #508247I’ve been lazily pondering starting an art or sketching journal. These great suggestions have really got me thinking more seriously about it. Thanks to everyone for posting!
