Wreck This Journal

by Keri Smith

Wreck This Journal Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

For anyone who's ever wished to, but had trouble starting, keeping, or finishing a journal or sketchbook comes Wreck This Journal, an illustrated book that features a subversive collection of prompts, asking readers to muster up their best mistake- and mess-making abilities to fill the pages of the book (and destroy them). Acclaimed illustrator Keri Smith encourages journalers to engage in "destructive" acts-poking holes through pages, adding photos and defacing them, painting with coffee, and more-in order to experience the true creative process. Readers discover a new way of art and journal making-and new ways to escape the fear of the blank page and fully engage in the creative process.

For someone who's stuck in a creative rut, this may just be the solution. Filled with rather unusual creative prompts, this book will encourage you to do such bizarre things as taste the page, spill/spit/make coffee rings on the page, rip out a page, put it in a pocket and wash it, then put it back into the book. It's fun. Seriously fun. I mean kid making mud pies or scribbling on the walls fun.
