    Thank you!

    Gosh, I want that Art Journaling issue B-). I pinned it here – http://www.pinterest.com/pin/131589620336901941/ which automatically sends it through my twitter account and to my FB page – I don’t know how to put the twitter link here.

    Why do I want that issue? Because I’m just getting back into art journaling after several years away and I need all the help I can get

  33. I find the Digital Inspiration magazine to be the most appealing, to me. I’m primarily an artist who combines analog and digital techniques to create my mixed-media fashion illustrations. The spread piques my curiosity! I’m glad to see more artists discover the joy of combining the two methods.
