Buy Art, Just In Case...

always a perplexing

question...

I am merely in disguise.

Buy some art,

just in case.

Journals at Goodwill?

Numbers

Badass Levels

Everything is about technology

these days. Why not refer to ourselves in

video game terminology?!

Translating the Inevitable

How Do I Like My Eggs?

Ever have one of those days

when you just forget to

take your meds?

Art is Life

I still listen to 

classic rock...

Knowing that many of the greatest

rock artists are gone, makes me sad.

But their music legacy lives on.

And what will my legacy be?

Show Up

This year, Roz Stendahl is providing a choice of Prompts that our 

Fake Character can choose to respond to, or ignore.

The prompts for our Fake Character

can be found on the Official International

Fake Journal Blog  

My character loves random phrases and

quotes. Sometimes the prompts click, and

sometimes they don't.

"Translating the Inevitable"

is the tagline/theme

for the 2018

Fake Journal. (provided by the project

originator, Roz Stendahl) It's an added

layer for interpretation. 

And a fake journal cannot be written

or drawn by an animal or a thing. 

You've got to have hands for writing

and drawing, after all!

Join me for 

International Fake Journal Month,

the entire month of April:

- who is my character?

- what do I want?

- what is my situation?

Visit Roz Stendahl's IFJM blog

(link In the Side Bar) to learn more.

"Life is short. Why live only one?"

International Fake Journal Month (IFJM) is April 2018!

In 2016, my 'fake' journal

author was a toy collector.

In 2017, my 'fake' journal

author was a homeless artist.

Join me again this April for a

fictional journey in art journaling:

"Translating the Inevitable."

According to Roz Stendahl, the

creator of the project:

"What Is IFJM?

Basically it’s a free pass to put anything 

in a journal that you might not otherwise put in."

Go to Roz's IFJM blog to find out more, and

how you can participate.  A fun challenge

to help get yourself into the habit of

drawing in your journal every day!

What am I going to do this year?

I have no clue yet. It may be a last 

minute decision, like last year. I'm

going to re-read Roz's post about 

choosing a character here. And she's 

going to provide optional prompts, if 

you like that kind of thing. Join us ~

to draw in your journal, or just to 

see what the Fake Journalers are up to!
