Journals have been a passion of mine since high school. Other interests come and go, but my journal has been a constant. Here are past and present excerpts from my journals, as well as occasional paintings and drawings.
Each journal I make seems to follow certain themes. My most recent journal has focused a lot on family. i think this interest has been awakened by my moving back to my childhood city, and living in the home I grew up in again. On the left is a picture of my mother as a young girl. On the right is a pencil drawing of my brother. In the corner is a baby picture of me.

This is me at 25. I swear I have not aged a day since I was 2. Same belly, diapers and sweet sweater.
I worked on this page in August 2007. I remember I was watching 'Rear Window' as I was drawing. Yay Hitchcock. Me want to watch some Hitchcock movies right now. I was inspired by some photos I found in an old National Geographic.
This is from my current journal, which is about to fall apart. This page was made in July 2007. The little bunny head was made by my talented, singing, friend, Livia. The red drawing of a barn was based on an old watercolor made by my grandfather.
