What is 160 Pages?
After returning from the 2009 HOW Design Conference in Austin, TX, I realized that I needed more creativity in my life. So I vowed to create 160 art journal pages by the end of 2009. This blog documents my commitment.
EDIT: This did not happen. I gave up after 43 pages. But I'm on a quest to continue!

What kind of pens/pencils do you use? Also...if you found a journal in which the ink doesn't bleed through to the back of the pages...tell me! :D Pretty please!

Well I am not where I should be but there you go! Philadelphia would be nice! Love your art, btw. Great idea for your blog too. Makes me think of my post today.
I use Staedtler pencils to start, then I move to Microns, all different tip sizes, and then the colored markers are Faber-Castell Pitt artist pens. Oh, and a Prismacolor white pencil. I picked up this journal at Barnes and Noble actually. It was pretty cheap, and I like the brown pages. :) It's a "Cachet by Daler Rowney". No bleeding, even with the markers!
And thank you, everybody. :)
I found your blog on stumbleupon and can I say I absolutely love it! I'm thinking of moving back to Philadelphia once I'm done school and this drawing has made me think it IS the right choice. Thanks!
