Art Journal: Artists' Book 1
· Artists Book Art Journal mixed media collaborative 
I’ve been teasing everyone for some time now with “sneak peeks” of a collaborative project that I’ve been working on with two other artists. Well, pull out your popcorn and grab a seat! Over the next few weeks, you’re finally going to get to see it all! Today’s image is the front and back cover. This is not the originally planned cover. I ended up having to make a new front and back, that was larger, to protect the inside of the book.

Art Journal: Last Peek
· Art Journal mixed media collaborative 
Over the last two months I’ve shown you some little peeks at a collaborative project that I’ve been working on with two other artists. Our project will be delivered on Saturday for everyone to see, in a showing with other collaboratives. So today, I’m showing you a final peek. But don’t worry… Starting next week, I will show you, in various posts, the project in it’s entirety!

I know it’s been a while, and you probably don’t remember, but I showed you a sneek peek of this small bit of a larger work when it was in the very beginning stages. It’s now finished, and you’ll get to see the whole thing before the end of the month!
Art Journal: Burger Layers
· Art Journal mixed media collage 
So, what are we building? A mixed-media burger! Yum! The point of this exercise was to figure out for myself, what my mixed-media layers are/should be. This concept comes from Karen Campbell. You can learn more about this method by watching her Mixed Media Hamburger series of videos. Before I watched these, I had the basic idea, and had actually executed a previous art journal of paper dolls. But I had some issues that needed resolution.

Art: Old - Really Old
· Painting betica acrylic mixed media 
Many… MANY… (like, probably, 45) years ago, I had this idea for a painting. I grabbed the nearest paper (a brown paper lunch sack) and a ballpoint pen to sketch it out before I forgot about it. After about 15 minutes, I had all the shapes drawn. I also had color notes on the back of the bag. I have the bag around here somewhere. If I find it, I’ll post a pic of it.
