So for the past 6ish months or so I'm real great with time and such I've been
working on this little journal I bought called Wreck This Journal
It's pretty popular, especially on the arts-y, aesthetic-y, 'hipster' side of the internet
I'm nowhere near finished with the thing, but after finding it under a stack of homework and blankets and pictures I have yet to tape up on my wall, I flipped through a few pages and decided to share my own little book with all you little llamas (?????)
SOO I hope you enjoy, sorry not all of them are the greatest, this is just stuff I work on whenever I'm having an art block or when I'm avoiding homework, neither of those activities requiring much creativity. Here you go. xD
 |
| this ended up looking slightly more morbid than I had first anticipated but oh well |
 |
| I hope this explains the whole 'I just spent the last ten minutes of my life gluing dirt to a book' post for ya. xD |
 |
| excuse my awkward hand |
 |
| much social justice. very barbie. such perfection. wow. |
 |
| this is in no way creative bc someone else already did this but ayy |
 |
| I honestly don't even remember the original instructions for this page, but I assume it was something along the lines of '1. dump all of your paint on the page 2. sit on it 3. shimmy back and forth 4. open to see the mess ur life has become' |
 |
| I had no intentions whatsoever of making a pattern out of this but tape was certainly a part of it |
 |
| my mom was very confused at the sight of me dumping a mug of her coffee on one of my books. to this day I haven't explained myself. |
 |
| my poor birds in the corner. I'm sorry guys I tried. |

HOPE YOU ENJOYED WHATEVER THAT WAS
Maybe when I finish, I'll do a little update post and show the rest of the pages. :}
Anywho, hope you all had a lovely weekend and good luck with the week ahead of you
Have a little Lee Pace and a daisy to help
UNTIL MY NEXT SNACK BREAK BETWEEN DOCTOR WHO EPISODES FRIENDS

DeleteThis is amazing. Just...ahhh it'S SO PRETTY and all the colours wow. I need to get me one of these ;)

Delete:)

Thank you!! Planning on getting it up sometime today. :D

THANK YOU!! The Barbie one was by far one of my favorites to work on, I'm pretty happy with that one.
Deletehaha, I'm glad, hope they last the week! xD

Haha YUP I'm one of those people who could never destroy a book otherwise, but it's still a lot of fun. :3
DeleteOh, I saw that book in a store and it was one of those things where I NEEED IT.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I was broke at the time so I have yet to purchase it on Amazon.
Your pages are AMAZING. I really enjoy seeing your artwork, it's very inspiring.
~Kathryn
Ugh, I know the feeling. It took me some time to get one too, since I'm also broke like 90% of the time. xD I REALLY HOPE YOU GET TO BUY ONE SOON THOUGH. ^-^
DeleteOh gosh, thank you so much it means a lot. :} <3
I love this especially the barbie, journal goals
ReplyDeleteAww, THANKS SO MUCH!! ^_^
DeleteOk, So I might be the only person wondering but.....what is it anyway? It's looks pretty cool though.
ReplyDelete~ ^__________________^
I'M SORRY I TOOK LIKE 800 YEARS TO REPLY.
DeleteBut basically it's just this book with different directions on each page on how to wreck the book. If that makes any sense. xD One example is on one of the pages it says 'tie a string to the book and fling around' or on another page it says 'color this entire page' or 'bring with you in the shower'. It's really cool and fun to mess around with. If you google 'wreck this journal' there's a bunch of pictures that show up of others' journals, it's pretty cool to see! ^__^
Hahaha! Why 800 years? xD
DeleteAnd oh, cool! Sounds like it'd be fun!
I honestly don't know it sounded right. xD
DeleteAnd it really is ^___^
I am IN LOVE with your wreck this journal - its absolutely fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI really, really, really, REALLY, R.E.A.L.L.Y love the 'Marvel? Marvel.' I love Marvel, I love TFIOS and I just generally loved that!
You did a monto-fabulous, most amazing job! xoxo
Aww, oh gosh, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
DeleteTHANKS That's one of my favorite pages actually. xD Marvel is life. I was absolutely obsessed with Marvel at the time when I did that page, and had to do it. xD
THANKS SO MUCH AGAIN IT MEANS A LOT <3
Marvelll ♥ You're so good at drawing; I want to get a Wreck This Journal really bad but I feel like nothing would turn out the way I'd it to and then I'd be mad that I spent $10 on it
ReplyDeleteokay. that escalated quickly.
cool journal ^^
O | Life as a Young Lady
Marvel is life. ^__^ Aww, THANKS SO MUCH And don't worry none of my pages ended up like I had originally planned, but in the end even though they were all a mess, I was pretty happy with it. xD I'm sure it'd look fantastic, they definitely are worth it. :]
DeleteI'm just glad I'm not the only one who escalates things like that though, I feel ya. xD
THANKS AGAIN ^-^
