I am pleased to announce that "Cloth, Paper, Scissors" has come out with an e-book (available for download) including instructions for my Graffiti style Accordion journals.  Below are a few pictures of those journals -

Folded Books and Paper Art: 
14 Projects to Create From the editors of Cloth Paper Scissors magazine

Published in "Cloth, Paper, Scissors" Magazine!

Awhile back Interweave ask me to write an article for "Cloth, Paper, Scissors" magazine on accordion Graffiti Journals ... specifically "The Wall".  I was happy to do so and have included a few photos here. This is the current Jan./Feb. 2015 issue.

The timing is quite good as well.  Are you aware you can take a workshop in Portland, Oregon March 4th, 2015, through Art and Soul and make your very own version or one as pictured below?  Registrations are being taken now.

This is the only time this workshop is scheduled for 2015, so don't miss out! Below are a few other Graffiti Journals that are in the article and more photos on my website  can be seen here.

Art and Soul Portland!

What a crazy busy and exciting time!  All plans are in full gear for Art and Soul in Portland, March 2-8, 2015!  Classes have been added and I will be teaching 4 workshops that I am terribly excited about!

One of the workshops will be "The Wall", a graffiti inspired accordion book.  Speaking of which ... did you see the Jan/Feb 2015 issue of "Cloth, Paper, Scissors" Magazine? There is an article I wrote about graffiti journals with "The Wall" being shown as an example.

The "Mandala Journal" is being offered on Thursday.

By popular demand, "Through the Rabbit Hole" will be on Tuesday.

And the brand new "Over the Edge" (the fun size version) will be on Monday!

My teaching schedule is being dramatically cut back starting this year, so take advantage of the opportunity to take these workshops while you can.

My website is currently under construction and oodles of new photos of these journals are being uploaded as I write this! Be sure to check them out!

Another journal page ...

I really love this graffiti style alien image and have been looking for an excuse to use it on an appropriate journal page.  Hard to believe, but there are those that don't share my enthusiasm for this image.... you know who you are.

Ginny's Small Studio Workshop Series

Coming up rather quickly, I will be teaching "The Wall"  and "The Journal Obscura" at Ginny's Small Studio in Westlake, Ohio.  The dates are March 23rd and 24th, 2013.

"The Wall" is a Graffiti inspired accordion journal.  Click here to see more photos.

 "The Journal Obscura" is a journal inspired by the Camera Obscura.  Click here to see more photos.

I am so looking forward to this and I hope you'll join us for one or both of these workshops at Ginny's great studio!  

And if you are unable to join us for these workshops, I do hope you'll at least visit Ginny's shop. Her "eclectic and curious goods" are a feast for the eyes.  My head just spins thinking of all the possibilities! I guarantee that you won't be disappointed.

Workshops in Haslett, Michigan

Just came back from 2 fabulous days of workshops in Haslett, Michigan. What a great time! Met lots of new wonderful people and had far too much fun teaching the classes "Through the Rabbit Hole" and "The Wall" (a graffiti inspired accordion book) at the "Small but Mighty Art Studio". As usual I forgot to take photos during class, but do have a photo of this beautiful Graffiti style wall to share that is a just a block or so from the studio.
