If you follow me on instagram {@crystalbroussardphotography} you may already be privy to this project I am working on. Recently, I discovered the phenomena known as "Wreck this Journal" and being that I have really been wanting to reach back into my creative side, this has been the perfect project to start.
Everyone who has seen the posts about the journal keeps asking "What is 'Wreck this Journal'...??" So, first I want to explain to you WHAT it is and then I will show you a few of the pages I have begun working on in my copy.
The overall concept of the 'Wreck this Journal' book is pretty self-explanatory ... you are given a journal to "wreck". Some of the instructions include standing on your journal, sticking gum to it, rubbing dirt on it, crinkling, tearing, spilling, and even taking it with you in to the shower. Which all seems relatively silly, but I think it's message is somewhere along the lines of 'it's okay to mess something up, it's not the end of the world, move on, etc.'
For me, I got the journal because I saw that it was an opportunity for me to create art through drawing and after reading in to it more I thought it would be the perfect thing for me because I tend to fret over minor details and I think that I need to learn to embrace the 'just go with it' philosophy instead of having to be so painstakingly meticulous about everything. So that's kind of why I chose to do one... anyway, they're a lot of fun and I am really thoroughly enjoying the experience thus far and I wanted to share mine with all of you. <3
So, without further ado :
