Cheap Thoughts Journal : )

CTJ has saved my life : ) Well, of course that's extreme, but it truly has helped me over some creative hurdles.
I personally have been on an art lock down... it's a rut I've been in for awhile and I'm struggling to work through it. YSM has been helping alot also!

The thought that I can pick up my CTJ even when I feel NO creativity or inspiration whatsoever is a comfort to me. There's just something about no expectations.... after I play in it, or vent in it... I sit back and re-read it and look at it and I love how it makes me feel.... It actually gives me a sense of artistic accomplishment even when I thought that wasn't possible, and desperately needed to feel it.........

I highly recommend it ♥ Here's some of my pages.








This is a pen sketch. (added color) This is something I enjoy and practice in an effort to loosen up and to help me overcome my perfectionism struggle with my work.

  2. There's nothing cheap about your amazing art. I use composition books for all of my journaling. I think it's freeing, knowing that you didn't spend a fortune on an expensive book. Your art is top notch. Thank you for sharing it so freely. xo
