Introducing...

As you've probably guessed Put it on Paper is a new zine all about art journaling that Jane and I are putting together. Our mission is to offer inspiration and encouragement to our readers so that they may get in touch with their creative side through the practice of art journaling. We believe there is not right or wrong way to journal and that journaling is healthy play. We want to encourage people to explore their inner selves as well as their world through their art journal. We plan to focus on down-to-earth and do-it-yourself materials.

Our first issue comes out June 1st, 2012 and will feature articles by Eveline Hessels and SirensIdyll (Jazmin), an interview with Ted Micu, product reviews as well as techniques instruction. Each article will give you real art journaling insight from real art journalers as well as fantastic images. To accompany the zine we'll have a workbook called Put it on Paper: Challenge! It will feature a series of art journaling prompts inspired by the zine's articles in a slim carry-along-with-you-everywhere size.

We plan on publishing 4 issues a year via MagCloud. They'll each be available as a digital download and as a print option. It will give people an option to get a professionally printed and bound version of the zine without using an entire ink cartridge.

We're really excited and hope you are too!
