1000 Artist Journal Pages and an Opportunity

I have a little confession:  I'm nuts for the 1000 fill in the blank here books.  In my library, I have 1000 Retail Graphics, 1000 Type Treatments, 1000 Greetings, and so forth.  I'm a junkie it seems.  And, one of my very favorite of this type of book is by Dawn DeVries Sokol (and I just found out, because I'm slow, that she is the voice of D'Blogala and the brains behind NaNoJouMo!).  The book's name?  1,000 Artist Journal Pages: Personal Pages and Inspirations.

I love this book.  It is a feast for the eyes and creative soul.  In it, you'll find a variety of styles, stories, and artful approaches (from drawing, to painting, to collage, and on).  Additionally, the book offers a few prompts, reasons why some of the featured artist's journal, and two fabulous directories (of resources and artists).  If you want something pretty to drool over (in a virtual-non-icky-sort-of-way), are looking for art journal inspiration, or if you're interested in learning more about art through study of some amazing work, this book is a must have!

Now, here's the cool part:  Pam Garrison (one of the book's artists) is giving away a signed copy of the book on her blog.  You have until Friday to leave a comment on Pam's blog.

Best wishes!
