This book shares large full-color images and profiles each of the high-profile, amazingly talented artists that discuss their sketchbooks and how they use them. People are fascinated by artist's sketchbooks. They offer a glimpse into private pages where artists brainstorm, doodle, develop and work on ideas, and keep track of their musings. Artists use these journals to document their daily lives, produce their initial ideas for bigger projects, and practice their skills. Using a variety of media from paint to pencil to collage, these pages can become works of art themselves. They often feel fresh and alive because they are first thoughts and often not reworked. These pages capture the artist's personalities along with glimpses of their process of working and inspirations.

Full of gaga Keatsian flights tempered with a deep stoicism, these fiercely explorative and lyrically lush poems amaze me. And scare me a bit. The I here is a living eye presenting its weird welter of startling and everyday imagery with always a sense that what is being seen may be seen upside down. And the I is an opening, the aperture of poetry itself always wide and half-creating, as Wordsworth said, what it sees. And it is a person, avuncular companion for us in this dangerous, fickle, gorgeous world; someone managing to sing in the muck. Thank heavens.-Dean YoungWhen time disappears somewhere between the minutiae of everyday life and the vastness of the universe, Adam Edelman is here to help us navigate worlds that don't distinguish between materiality and dream. With precision, grace and exquisite attention to sound, breath, and movement, he asks big questions about what it means to be alive, how we are shaped by history, nature, consumerism and the dead. These poems continuously unfold in dazzling and perceptive images that invite us, with generosity and rigor, to look and to look again. -Daniel Borzutzky

An excerpt from the popular book, Raw Art Journaling by Quinn McDonald, Keeping Secrets in Your Art Journal shares many methods for keeping secrets secret, from overwriting to tangled language to code-talking and more.
