Welcome to my Author's page. I live and breathe mixed media artwork. I am a collage artist, author, and workshop instructor. Years ago, I was consulting with another artist who was writing a book on Altered Books. I knew many colleagues in that field and was happy to make recommendations and forward along any potentially-helpful information to her. One day, I got an email from her stating that she had decided to also include the topic of Art Journals in her book. I immediately fired back: "Hey! That subject should have its OWN book"; and she recommended that I work up my own book proposal on the subject. On an impulse, I went ahead with the idea, and within a week I started writing my first book, "Artist's Journals and Sketchbooks", published by Rockport/Quarry in 2004. I realized how affirming it was to be an advocate and a spokesperson for a topic I felt strongly about; plus it was a joy to feature the work of artists I knew and respected....plus some new faces. The other compartments of my life, as a full-time artist and a workshop instructor, work well with my more recent role as an author. All of the aspects, of all these endeavors, seem to interact perfectly. Since my first book, I have gone on to do four other titles. "Alphabetica", "Beyond Paper Dolls", "Art-Making: Collections & Obsessions" and my latest book, "Art-Making & Studio Spaces". Every aspect of doing a book project is interesting; from the first sudden "what if?" vision of a potential book idea, to planning the book map/pagination, to working with my photographer, to interacting with the contributing artists, and getting the guidance and coaching from the editors at Rockport/Quarry. Not unlike the art-making process itself, my goal as an author is to attempt something that is unique, distinctive, and personal. I would like artists and non-artists alike to encounter my books and feel that they are being welcomed into a fascinating artform (mixed media) where personal artistic exploration is alive and well.

I have been familiar with Lynne's art for years and have never tired of it. She has an ability to keep it fresh by constantly pushing herself to try new things. This book is a fine examole of that. I was so pleased that this was NOT "how to: book but more of an inspiring and motivating book. The book sings with color and what a treat after a sepia over dose in some of the paper craft magazines of late. I have had the wonderful experience of taking a class from Lynne and this book was able to accomplish the same feeling of renewal and excitement that her class did for me. I tell my students in my journaling and collage classes that what I like about teaching is that I get to see the world through many sets of eyes and this book provides this experience with the fine artists' work included! You need this book!!!!

Inspiring and helpful guide for getting unstuck

Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2005

Verified Purchase

This is a book full (and I do mean "full") of ideas and techniques for getting artists and designers excited about using their sketchbooks, and perhaps, in getting those sketchbook pages to a larger canvas, as it did in my case.

It is beautifully laid out, well-written and just plain fun to look at. I love looking at the work of other artists, and this book gives each journal designer lots of room, close-up and personal, to showcase their best work.

If you need a little kick to get you going, get you started, or get you interested in collage painting, assemblage, art journaling, or you want to check out interesting creative techniques, this is a good addition to your design library.

Highly recommended as a book that won't be shoved into the bookcase, but used over and over as a creative tool to help you fill your books with the art of life.

A Great Book to Inspire and Start With; Especially for Students

Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2010

Verified Purchase

When I was fifteen, I was studying visual arts at a higher IB level. Part of the requirements for this was keeping an idea sketchbook, and the books of cartoon doodles I had wasn't really acceptable. Luckily for me, my professor had this book.

Each page is absolutely dynamic - bright colours, really lively well-designed pages, a variety of styles, and quite a few instructions. It hadn't occurred to me before this book that sketchbooks were not necessarily all-graphite studies. I was absolutely captivated, and it opened up a whole new host of ideas for me about the potential for artistic journals and mixed-media techniques. I loved browsing through this book, and ended up buying my own copy.

I find that I don't look back on is much as I used to, so this isn't for the experienced artist. But for someone just starting out, it was an invaluable resource and I'm grateful for it.

Good choice

Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2013

Verified Purchase

I purchased this book when I first began art journaling. Some of the good things about this book are several artists are featured, so many styles are shown in the photos, which is helpful to a beginner. There are also fairly good step by step instructions on how to do certain artistic techniques, in particular, photo transfers. There are ideas on how to use and re-use images, how to create covers for journals and other types of artwork. What I found intimidating about this book was there weren't very many comments on actual materials (types of papers, inks, paints, etc), which for a beginner was a little disappointing, because at the time I didn't know anything about what's available in terms of products. Other books filled that niche for me. But this book is wonderful in terms of inspiration and generating ideas once I had a better foundation of the basics.

CREATIVE EXPANSION

Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2004

Verified Purchase

I just received my book today, and let me tell you...this is a joy to go through! Never in my imagination could I even conceive of some of the journals that Ms. Perrella showcases in this book. I also own the book "The Decorated Page" and love that one as well. But "Artist Journals" seems a little more welcoming in its explaination of how to create the journals shown in the book, as well as give you ideas on creating various other journals.

I'm going online to check for art materials right now. I cannot wait. If you are looking to awaken your creative muse, purchase this book. You will not be disappointed.

Unblocks your blocks

Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2011

Verified Purchase

This book may not be for absolute beginners, as it is not a recipe or a step by step instruction book. However anyone who is familiar with mixed media techniques will benefit from the mini instructions and suggestions. I like this book not only for the well organized instructions and examples, but also that it covers everything from creating the pages to the cover and bindings. The showcase of other visual journalists creations are absolute eye candy. If you are blocked and looking for a jump start this is good book for that.

On Fire!

Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2006

Verified Purchase

I have been on fire since I opened the pages of Lynne Perrella's, Artists' Journals and Sketchbooks! Every page has me completely and utterly mesmerized, and after each purusal, I found myself bolting up the stairs to my makeshift studio to create art. I haven't gone to bed before 1:00 am since I opened the book, and frankly, I think I'm going a little nuts, but in a good way. Lynne has helped me find my "inner artist", and I guarantee that she will help you find yours as well. Just buy the book, you will not be disappointed.

Artists' Journals and Sketchbooks....what a fantastic place to go for inspiration! I have recently had this book next to me wherever I am and reach for it any spare moment. It has given me fuel for soooo many of my own new ideas....just what I need to spark my own artistic journey. Thank you, Lynne Perrella, for your efforts and generosity. This will be one of my most favorite books out of over 1,000 I now own.

La création pour tous!

Reviewed in France on July 25, 2012

L'"artist journaling" est un moyen accesible à tous d'exprimer son potentiel créatif même si on est mal à l'aise avec un crayon et une gomme. Dans cet ouvrage il y a plein d'exemples destinés à inspirer la conception de ce type de journal à partir de récup', collages, vieux tickets de ciné, dessins naifs... Bien entendu de sont des artistes pro qui ont contribué au livre mais tout le monde peut se lancer dans ce type de céation et obtenir des résultats immédiats. Personnellement il m'aide à relancer mon imagination quand je suis bloquée devant une peinture. (je dirais que j'ai un niveau intermédiaire en dessin, peinture)..

Skizzenbücher mal etwas anders

Künstlerhefte + Skizzenbücher von Lynne Perrella

Nachdem ich für mich das regelmäßige Skizzieren in einem Blankobuch entdeckt habe, und somit meine zeichnerischen
Fähigkeiten verbessern gelernt habe, wollte ich nun mal sehen, wie Amerikaner so vorgehen....
(Das Buch wird auch in England vertrieben).

Die Autorin führt über die Seiten und stellt insgesamt 40 verschiedene "Skizzenbuch-Künstler" vor mit seinen jeweiligen
thematischen Schwerpunkten.
Das Buch ist üppig bebildert(es beteht fast nur aus Bildern)und zu vielen Kunstwerken wird auf den handwerklichen Aspekt
eingegangen (wie mache ICH das, Besonderheiten, Techniken, usw.).

Zu Beginn gibt es eine (einfühlsame) Anleitung, um selber erst mal anzufangen. (Wenn man so durchblättert, wird man ja als
Einsteiger fast erschlagen von der Fülle der Möglichkeiten).
Es wird sehr viel (fast nur) in Form von Kollagen gearbeitet und alles darf verwendet werden (alte Photos, Bonbonpapier,
Tickets, Knöpfe usw, usw, usw,..)

Zunächst (nach den ersten Kapiteln) habe ich gedacht, das wäre nicht mein Ding, da mir der zeichnerische Aspekt zu sehr
fehlte,aber nach weiteren Kapiteln fanden sich auch hierzu eine Fülle von Anregungen.
Die Skizzen sind in die Kollagen eingebettet (manchmal sehr amerikanisch bunt), aber durch die Fülle der vorgestellten
Künstlern wird hier jeder fündig!!
Auch meine Vorbehalte, dass hier so viele "fertige" (vorgefertigte) Komponenten verwendet werden und eben das eigene Zeichnen
wenig vorkam, zerschlugen sich, je weiter ich blätterte.
Im Gegenteil: es ist taktisch gut aufgebaut: zu Beginn mehr Kollagen (wenig "zeichnen"-Anteil) vielleicht mehr für den
ambitionierten Anfänger, später mehr und mehr davon....

Das Buch macht Lust auf "mehr" - man will selber gleich anfangen!
Für jeden Typ ist was dabei. Auch wenn man des Englischen nicht mächtig ist, lohnt sich der Kauf! Es ist ein wundervolles
"Bilder" -buch und man entdeckt jedes Mal neue Details.

Sehr empfehlenswert.
