are accomplished designers who give us an insight into how they see
the
world, and how we can take a bit of their vision, mix it with our
own,
and create something which is not only useful, but beautiful as
well. ~Kyle Cassidy, Author of Armed America
Journal Revolution should be on
every creative person’s book shelf. It’s one of those books that you
keep nearby and randomly flip open when you need a double shot of
artistic espresso. ~Jennifer Cushman, Producer Paper, Scissors, Crop! Mary

~A Million Memories
Journal Revolution is "WOW." A
great follow up to their first book, Visual Chronicles, this
one dives even deeper into the power of art journaling and fearless,
creative living. Highly recommended. ~Ali Edwards, Author of Life Artist
Journal Revolution provides lots of
inspiring, different directions, and ideas of things to do. It's
less focused on drawing than it is on mixed media, type and paint.
This book is something to think about, something new and different! ~Danny Gregory, Author of The Creative License: Giving
Yourself Permission to Be the Artist You Truly Are
Journal Revolution is absolutely a
realistic, artistic masterpiece. It's not about rules or techniques-
it's just about doing it. Just creating for the sake of capturing a
point in your life. This is an absolute must-have. I love this book.
~Donna Downey, Author of Decorative Journals
I love the edgy, urban look that Linda and
Karen have given to Journal Revolution, and the catchy
chapter titles, like "Tactical Maneuvers," "Take Cover," and
"Recruit," liken your art experience to joining up with an art
army.... this book rocks. It does make you want to join up and to
rise up and create! I am already on my second reading of the
book and I have sticky notes all over it, marking the things I want
to try! ~Tena Sprenger, Co-Author of Lifelines
