Journal Revolution is a book of secrets. Linda Woods and Karen Dinino
are accomplished designers  who give us an insight into how they see the
world, and how we can take a bit of their vision, mix it with our own,
and create something which is not only useful, but beautiful as well.
~Kyle Cassidy, Author of Armed America

Journal Revolution should be on every creative person’s book shelf. It’s one of those books that you keep nearby and randomly flip open when you need a double shot of artistic espresso.

~A Million Memories

Journal Revolution is "WOW."  A great follow up to their first book, Visual Chronicles, this one dives even deeper into the power of art journaling and fearless, creative living. Highly recommended.
~Ali Edwards, Author of  Life Artist

Journal Revolution provides lots of inspiring, different directions, and ideas of things to do. It's less focused on drawing than it is on mixed media, type and paint. This book is something to think about, something new and different!
~Danny Gregory, Author of  The Creative License: Giving Yourself Permission to Be the Artist You Truly Are

 Journal Revolution is absolutely a realistic, artistic masterpiece. It's not about rules or techniques- it's just about doing it. Just creating for the sake of capturing a point in your life. This is an absolute must-have. I love this book.
~Donna Downey, Author of  Decorative Journals 

I love the edgy, urban look that Linda and Karen have given to Journal Revolution, and the catchy chapter titles,  like "Tactical Maneuvers," "Take Cover," and "Recruit," liken your art experience to joining up with an art army.... this book rocks.  It does make you want to join up and to rise up and create! I am already on my second reading of the book and I have sticky notes all over it, marking the things I want to try!
