Art Journal 2008

[reginaangel]

I love your video. I like how it is done and the words. It motivates me to keep going with my own artjournal. I was so frustrated, although I am experienced and educated the journey is not over, sure. I can really underline, that although someone can be a famous artist, whatever... it seems like the struggles never end and there is always more space to grow into. I don't know where the idea came from, that there is something like "perfection".

[MissBooksmith]

Very beautiful and sensitive journal, thank you, there are some beautiful ideas, such as paint what you are reading. I will come back and look again. Much Love.

[GidgetTrish]

Wow! Just found this video. I love your art journal. It's very inspiring. Your commentary that goes with the pictures is very well thought out. You've done a great job. I hope you do many more!

[MegaLoveLifeAlways]

I love your work, absolutely beautiful and perfect background music to go with your work. Totally soothing to both eyes and ears. Thank you.

[vivianr86]

oowww this looks great. So inspirational, really loved it :) !!!

[flyingmouse77]

Beautiful! I'm working on my first art journal, and your insights are very similar to mine. It's mostly about trying new things and just creating, not worrying about whether or not it's perfect. :-)

[doghappy101]

i think yours is better than :)

[ThatgirlfromBiH]

Oh can you teach me how to draw and paint like you

[Shaysailor]

Simply lovely - I love your whimsical, colorful art and the incredibly nice narrative. I am adding this to my favorites for next time I give up before even setting pencil to paper.."don't waste time attempting perfection"! I watched Suzi Blu too but yours is the one that really inspires me. Thank you for sharing this!

[marizateria]

this is beautiful, and I love all the captions - thanks for making this!

[artistic84chick84]

Wow...I like how you put the clip together. The way you apply it makes a story and a reason why artist create art journals. This clip makes me want to start one now...when I'm in the time of finishing my education...busy time. When is it a good time to create my art journal?...just a question. Anywho, keep you artwork coming...thier beautiful!

Wow, Wooooo and woot! Just simply beautiful and amazing. Your art and captions evoke so many thoughts and emotions, and quite a few reminiscences of deep conversations on the ning! A few tears fell, but I smiled the whole time. Thank you so much for sharing your journal journey with us. Can't wait to see what 2009 inspires.

Love, Mel

[LAly99]

Keeley! It's freakin' .... AWESOME. I watched your video this morning before class and drove to school in a daze thinking about it. Just amazingly inspiring.

[papplegrassbracelet]

thanks LAly - hope school is going well!

[maggiekriley]

oh my god - this is so WONDERFUL!! I actually clapped at the end, and now I have to watch it again because I missed some of the captions from staring at the beautiful images. One of them brought instant tears to my eyes - the running away with a shadow one... I am totally moved by this. You are one talented and beautiful Nerdfighting woman, Keeley!
