Product Description

Product Description

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.


About the Author

Keri Smith is the author of popular weblog Wish Jar Journal, which attracts 8,000 readers daily. A freelance illustrator by trade, she has illustrated for the Washington Post, The New York Times, Ford Motor Company, People, The Body Shop and Hallmark. She is the author of Living Out Loud and the children's title Tear Up This Book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful!, 20 Dec 2007
By Zorro (England) - See all my reviews
What a fantastic book! Clearly the first reviewer was bitter about something. This book is great as an unblocking exercise and for anyone with a creative mind. Or anyone who wishes they had a creative mind! As a result of buying this book, five of my friends have gone out and bought it (for themselves and their friends!) as they loved it THAT much! When I have a bit more money I'm going to buy more copies for my friends because it's great! This book focuses on the need for play and how, by playing, we are able to release our creative energy (although, it doesn't actually say that!). This is not a book for you to read and then put on your shelf - you cannot be passive with this book. Marvellous! I recommend everyone has one. Well, clearly not the person who wrote the first review! So I recommend it to everyone who likes to play!

4.0 out of 5 stars Unleash your creativity!, 18 Jan 2009
By Mrs. Anne Todd "montyshop" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a really fun book that brings out your creative, playful side. Most of the 'activities' are brilliant, like the 'tongue painting' and the 'take your journal for a walk'.

I agree it is a little pricey and the paper quality could be better but it's still worth buying if you fancy a change from the usual dull lined pages!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Boost to Your Creativity!, 5 Feb 2008
By G. Metcalf (Durham, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I love this book. It's such a lovely idea. If your a journal making boffin then don't bother, but if your looking for a bit of a giggle, some short creative exercises and an all round kick up the bum in terms of getting in touch with your creative side, then this is an excellent choice. Keri Smith is brilliant. Buy and benefit
