This page represents my personal experiments with different mediums through art journaling. Art journaling serves as a great creative outlet after spending many years living in the digital world as a graphic designer.
Mediums used range from acrylic paints to colored pencils and just about everything in between, including various ephemera, stencils, stamps, etc.
Please "appreciate" this page if you enjoy anything you see. Leave a comment below should you have any questions on techniques, approaches, etc.
