  • thank you Miss Suzi for your amazing videos. This is the message I needed not only for myself but for my daughter as well. Your inspirational message, your blissfulness, your magical, intoxicating love of creating has awakened the sleeping artist in me. Much blessings to you

  • I love how at the beginning she's all inspirational and trying to send out a message and then by the end it it's just ... derp.

  • @anjfermor She does that a lot lol

  • You are funny =)

  • @alssutton You need the sketchbook version, the other ones are too thin. :) It should be in a mauve-ish wrapper, not a green one.

  • I watch these videos over and over again. I love them, so inspiring. x

  • okay, I know this video is 4 years old but I want to start an art journal and I searched on youtube and found you. I bought this cheap sketch book to play with since I'm broke and I was not sure how to get started. I was afraid to touch it thinking I was going to just ruin it. After a marathon session of watching your videos I dug around in my garage and found some stuff and decorated the front of my journal! I love your video's and I'm getting a lot of inspiration from you! Thanks Suzi!

  • ok, so it is 2011, and I just watched this and I love this! I am working on my first page and I am totally inspired...hope you are still doing art journals

  • I find artists as children, everyone from a young age draws, paints etc. most of them grow out of it but a few carry on and never grow up :)

  • I love the way you talk about art :D

  • Just because everyone can make art, doesn't mean everyone should. :)

  • thank you.

  • I've watched this video so many times already, and I love it every time!!!! <3

  • she is an absolute delight - a wacked-out, warm, lovable, sweetheart, the kind of person you would really enjoy knowing. This one short vid made my day.

  • yup! I definitely agree that art is a medium of expression and images doesn't necessarily be as realistic. You want it, you love it... that's it. We don't have to please others... I am really inspired with your thoughts and videos... keep it up!

  • Four years ago I met Suzi through you tube ....thanks to my Nephew Matt, she is one of the most giving people....watch her videos......let it sink into your soul....we were meant to create one way or the other.....drawing, music, building, crafting, loving....Suzi Blu's videos is about LOVE ...thank you girl!! luv ya Pamela

  • I want to be in the art journal club Suzi. I didn't know but I've been making an art journal for many years but not in a JOURNAL, just on random pieces of paper and then I color them and put them all in a manila folder. I want to share a secret. I take them out and admire them sometimes for hours and am amazed how much I love the drawings and words and swirls I make. Imagine what will happen when I bind them together?

  • Moleskine is the best, how can 21 people not like this

  • Beautiful!

  • I love this video but I gotta tell ya, the moleskin sketchbook SUCKS when it comes to watercolor. good for every other medium, but not watercolor, I was pretty bummed when I found that out, :(

  • YEAH!! JERSEY!!! lol.

  • I LOVE YOU!!! i will get a book and write my name in it to make you happy. Please adopt me as your sister.

  • there is no such thing as faliure. only getting outcomes you wern't aming for. if you stop aming for something, you eliminate this problem

  • Oh. My god. She's so high. But I love her anyway. :)

  • Darling, you give me a big favor and open my way with your art. I live in studio and I dont have space for have a big material. So , some time I want to draw but I look a conditiona and its a pretext to not do nothing, but now with your work art open my mine. Thank , thank a looottt.

  • I, like you, believe that art is a part of life and that everyone can do it. I like this video.

  • LOL! I'm a follower...gonna look for the next one!!

  • You are magic!

  • Omigod you live in North Jersey? Have you ever gone to the Hoboken Arts and Musical Festival?

  • Love your "sessions" they help me - i have been making cards for about a year - i just started adding Art in with my "Normal" writting - It make me happy - I am letting go of the perfect and learning what beauty is to me.

  • yes .... NO FEAR >>> NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FEAR

  • Hi love the idea, really struggle to get messy!!!!! Tried yesterday but could not do it!!! I love the idea and the freedom you say we have! I know it is just a thought, but I'll get there!

  • Thank you for the tutorial, In class we are to do a journal, guess what? I think you conviinced me to do a journal but with a twist. Why be like everyone else right? Art, this is good.

  • This made me so happy.

  • You're a doll.

  • yeah, in south jersey we are NORMAL...! Unfortunately the rest of the country thinks that all of NJ is like the northern part of the state, thats all they see on TV...

    Just kidding, I don't hold your northjersey-ness against you. Nice work in your journals. I just got a moleskin sketchbook today, my first one!! Hee hee, I'm so excited. I decorated the cover with Dr Suess stickers and I am ready to roll....(will prob have some snowbound time on my hands this weekend).

  • your creativity has no bounds! I believe that is in part due to your great generosity! You have the most beautiful creative spirit! Thank You for sharing it with us mere mortals! :-)

  • respect

  • I just came across your videos! I love them, and I want to be your best friend! Hahaha, all creepiness aside, I've been meaning to pick up my art notebooks (yea, I have many that have many blank pages) and start filling them up! Something like this would really make me accountable to working in it each day... Thanks for the inspiration!

  • I have just found your work and your videos..l love them. you feel about art the same way l do and l am 57..crossing the generation gap!Great! I live in London Uk..so waving from here.xlynda

  • i think she is drunk

  • She's a bohemian. And an awesome one at that!

  • Hi Suzi Blu...Thank you for your kind, generous & uplifting comments and for giving me permission to begin an artist's journal. I love your work and your message. It's New Year's Eve and I'm bringing in the new year by staring my first artist;s journal. I've always loved and dabbled in various art forms....but have really felt blocked lately. I just finished my first page in my new journal. The process is pure therapy. Thanks again, and keep sending out your inspiring pages and thoughts.

  • haha

  • yay! art journals!

  • yelling is ok! hehe

  • Hi Suzyblu, you are just such a beautiful soul and artist. Thank you for all your generosity. And you are so right, it is so easy to get in our own way and kill inspiration and making art. By comparing and measuring our creations with other artist. I was in a dry spell here, and just was not pleased with what I was making. But then I got some Suzyblu vibes, and I am good to go! Have a beautiful holiday ♥

  • You're so cool ¨!

    I'll appreciate. Thanks

  • wow, that was inspirational and your kinda hot and thats pretty much why theres so many comments including mine lolz

  • 2:06 WOW I love that how did you do that it's bulging out of the journal did you stuff other papers in there?

  • When I was five, I was raised by my dad. I made a masterpiece and gave it to my dad. I watched him secretly from around the corner as he looked at it, crumpled it up and threw it away.

  • you're inspirational

  • WHat'S with all the scratching!? Stop the ADDICTION! Holy snap! Look at the book.You sort of motivated me to want to draw again.

  • Hehehe! I think I have a girl crush!

    I am going to favorite this video and watch it over and over til I get off my ass and make an art journal!!

    Thanks for the gentle butt kick into gear...

  • You tottaly rock ! where do you get such ideas to draw these beautiful thinqs ! ?

  • Keeping it real.

    You are great and so is your art!

  • you rock...

    i think you're cool and your art is beautiful

  • High five for being honest and outspoken about what the word "art" really is. It's become a loaded term and I think that scares a lot of people away from playing with materials and markmaking. Glad to see you use journals as I do! (And if you ever wanna do a moleskin trade let me know! lol. You've inspired me to go work on mine so I can post a video moleskin "tour" sometime!)

  • Cool I found this channel! This is your first video I found. My husband just brought me some new paint brushes he got and I don't know what to do with them. I'm going to check out your other vids for ideas. I will def be checking into an art journal purchase. Can't say I ever heard of moleskin, but there's always a first. LOL!

  • was that a moleskine you were painting in? if so which type of moleskine? cause i have a moleskine pocket sketchbook and it didnt work with watercolor...plzz help me someone!

  • Suzi this is fab, you have inspired me to start an Art Journal, I have posted my first entry slideshow as a video response.

    Not only have you inspired me to do this but my husband is now getting one, together with some altered flash card 'prompts' for his birthday. He passed A Level art before we met and in the 13 years I have know him I haven't seen him pick up a brush, it's about time that changed!

    Thank you, thank you, thank you

  • lol i live in south jersey =)

    north and south jersey are totally different places. but there are still the loud italians in the mob, we just do it in the pine barrons =)

    i love your journals!

  • You have really inspired me to paint. :D

    I have a sketchbook that is only

    written/drawn inside with pencils/pens

    and I've been scared to try something new.

    But now, thanks to you,

    You've inspired me to try something new. :D

  • you make me happy when i am watching your video's...

    i feel free... like a bird... when i journal, tnx 2 U... i live again!

    you rock!

  • you are FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I might just do this =q

  • Thanks for bringing art to "the masses"! From one art educator to another - make art everyday.

  • oh my god, you're great, suzi! you're so natural talking to the cam and you're so inspiring. i feel i can do everything i want to when i watch your videos! :)

  • very inspiring video!!!!thank for sharing.

  • awesome!!!

  • I was definitely LOLing during this video. You are soooo funny! I'm really glad you have created this art journal series/club and have been so inspirational to so many people. Smoochies!

  • i love how you put down realistic art. HIGH FIVE!

  • Suzi you are a breathe of fresh air! Your honesty is inspiring!!!  Listening to you is like having an art buddy in the same room with you while you journal that totally understands! BRAVO!! Keep them coming three is no one like you!

  • wow you are great yes you are

  • you're very inspiring, suzi. :)

  • and you're fricken hilarious! love that "don't give me that shit" look at 1:20.

    :) you make me want to bust out my paints and fancy up my moleskine notebook!

  • Wow, bitter much? St4rdog, based on your comment, and the vids you've uploaded, I'd guess you haven't made it past the age of 18, and so you still think it's cool to be all cynical and jaded. That age where you aren't sure whether to kiss a girl or pull her hair. Since SuziBlu never talks about art school, or how to get in, your comment is really irrelevant. Please go back to your video games, and let the grown-ups go about making their art.

  • OR....even better, why don't you pick up a paint brush and join us? Art journaling is for everyone, and tends to make a person happier overall. :D

  • You know, I was going to not say anything here, but this kind of attitude really pisses me off. The idea that art is something that you should only do if you've got the right technique or can do something "properly" is utter bullshit.

    If you want to make art, the idea that you can't do it "right" can be a terrifying and stifling thing, and attitudes like the one you're displaying keep millions of people from ever expressing themselves in a creative way. I think that's fucking tragic.

  • *sigh* You just need love, St4rdog. Poor thing. It's okay, This isn't about anyone taking up a space in art school, darling. so just relax. No one is out to get your place in a class or your space on a wall anywhere. So chill, honey.

  • Suzy, this is great attitude and stuff.Fiber arts and exploration. I live in the same area and have a group of cloth doll artists and fiber artists. You'd fit right in to the insanity of creativity with us.

  • I love this!!!

  • I glad to hear someone say just do it, art is what you feel can be anything .

  • I can't believe people leave negatives. I love your instructional videos and if there is a market for them all the better. Anything to promote culture in this mediocre-turning country of ours. Good luck in Virginia.
