New Book
Danny Gregory kindly asked both Gay and Christina to contribute to his forthcoming book entitled An Illustrated
Life: Drawing Inspiration From The Private
Sketchbooks Of Artists, Illustrators And
Designers. We have been looking forward to it for over a year and it just it the bookshelves including online at Amazon.
Book Description: An Illustrated Life offers a sneak peak into the wildly creative imaginations of top illustrators, designers and artists from around the world through the pages of their personal visual journals. Popular visual journalist and author Danny Gregory reveals how and why keeping a consistent, visual journal leads to a more fulfilling creative life. Designers and artists working in all mediums will find creative inspiration from these insightful interviews and stunning examples.
Danny asked each of us all about how and why we journal and we all responded differently -- it is an amazing compilation of art of all kinds.
We be so happy if you'd like to order it here. When you get a copy, we'd be very happy to hear any feedback you have. |

What People are Saying
"Lopp and Kraeger present in a very folksy and approachable style. While those with some artistic talent will gain the most from this presentation, it is very accessible for the novice. A welcome addition to most arts and crafts collections and for journal writers who wish to enhance the look of their work."
--Tom Budlong, Atlanta, Library Journal
"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!!! You have inspired me to start journaling in all those nice empty journals I've collected over the years. Thank you so much for your DVD. It was such a gift, such an inspiration, so enlightening to me. I think it'll be launching a whole lot of young artists and young journal-ers in my family! I wish I lived nearer to you so I could take your classes. I can't say, "Thank you," enough."
-- Kate Fauller, Cape Cod, MA
"I have started to use some of your suggestions in my art journaling..and have begun to use my journal more. Your explanations about color theory and the process of painting and lettering are truly wonderful and easy to understand. I have always had a hard time with my lettering and positioning things on the page, and your DVD really helps!! I have paired down my watercolor pack to only taking the niji brush, my paints, 1 pen and a pencil….which is a vast improvement over my older method of taking EVERYTHING I OWN! It has made my journaling more accessible and, thus, I’m producing more sketches and memories." -- Nancy Patterson, Crivitz, WI
"Your DVD arrived in the wet gloomy north of England this morning. I put aside my work for this evening to view all the sections. A real joy... Your light, informal, approach and very practical demonstrations make it easy to view and learn. Your council of 'imperfection' is encouraging - it reminds me of Wabi-Sabi." --George Dobbs
