A new edition of Keri Smith's bestseller, with updated material Think of Wreck This Journal as the anarchist's Artist's Way -- the book for those who've always wanted to draw outside the lines but were afraid to do it. For anyone who's ever wished to, but had trouble starting, keeping, or finishing a journal or sketchbook comes Wreck This Journal , an illustrated book featuring a subversive collection of suggestions, asking readers to muster up their best mistake - and mess-making abilities to fill the pages of the book (and destroy them). Through a series of creatively and quirkily illustrated prompts, acclaimed artist Keri Smith encourages journalers to engage in "destructive" acts - poking holes through pages, adding photos and defacing them, painting with coffee, colouring outside the lines, and more - in order to experience the true creative process. With Keri Smith's unique sensibility, readers are introduced to a new way of art and journal making, discovering novel ways to escape the fear of the blank page and fully engage in the creative process.

Buy this book but from somewhere else
I am dissatisfied with the way the book was handled. It's pages were folded and torn slightly and the front page had stains. If I am buying a new book I expect it to be in mint condition. The book itself is great. We are taught to keep our books properly and doodling and tearing pages of books is seen badly so to be able to absolutely wreck this book in so many different ways is something new and fun. So in conclusion, buy this book but from somewhere else.

A great journal
The book is really indulging. It gives you tasks which take you out of your comfort zone and encourages you to actually wreck it! Its fun to do the tasks and is a great stress releaser. I will surely recommend it to anyone who wants to do stuff and get a relief of the negative. It also has some deep things which will help you get that pile of emotion lighter.

As good as expected!
OMG! I love with this! as good as expected! It arrived today before 10:30 AM, it is literally the best book if you are a very creative person, or even if you just want something to survive in this boring lock down.it’s just been a couple of hours and I am all most half way through. This is a must, and this is a really affordable to!

Amazing.
Let's see, where do I start? Wow. Okay. This book, THIS BOOK is absolutely amazing. I don't think I've had more fun with anything else than I have had with this book. I'm not finished with it yet - but I've been using water-colors, pastels, markers, paint, dirt, stickers, tape, glue, ect. Anything and everything I can think of. It's more than a journal that you wreck and tear apart. When it's finished with it, yes; it's ragged, but it's not just ragged. It's beautiful. If you use it right, you can turn it into a masterpiece. "To create is to destroy" is it's catch-phrase, after all. So, yes, this book is amazing and well worth buying.

Le encanta a mi hija 13 años
La niña está encantada, no pára de jugar y dibujar, pintar, lo veo super didactico, aunque sinceramente tiene algunas cosas absurdas, pero que a los pre-adolescentes les hace gracias, como tirar café encima, comer encima, destrozar, congelar paginas, un largo etc....prefiero esto a que este en el movil todo el dia, además podrás hacer junto a tu hijo o hija , cosa que hoy en dia hace falta un poco de atencion a los hijos...andamos muy ocupados....lo recomiendo sin pensar. En ingles es mejor porque asà el joven aprende inglés y se interesará por conocer más palabras. En castellano NO LO RECOMIENDO.

très amusant, un jeu pour laisser parler sa créativité et ouvrir la porte à une quantité mesurée de transgression...
Ce petit livre est un bijou. Enfin il le deviendra ou pas. Voilà un livre qu'on s'approprie totalement. J'en ai un exemplaire et mon petit gars de 9 ans aussi. On s'amuse beaucoup avec. Il y a quelques 200 pages et plus avec une seule ou deux consignes très simples (pour ceux et celles qui craignent que l'anglais les bloque, c'est super simple et deux fois moins cher que la version française). Par exemple on va vous demander de faire des trucs que jamais on a eu le droit de faire sur un livre comme mâcher une page (mon mari trouvait ça con mais en entendant mon fils se marrer comme une outre à l'étage, je pense qu'il se trompe). Le motto de Keri Smith, c'est "to create is to destroy" et vice versa en fait. Le journal est assez costaud pour lui faire subir la misère: le balancer du haut d'un immeuble, prendre sa douche avec etc.... Les consignes sont LIBREMENT interprétables et c'est fondamental pour la réussite du projet. Le côté transgressif est très plaisant et on en apprend un peu sur soi selon ce qu'on peut faire ou pas. Par exemple je ne peux pas me séparer de ma page préférée donc il va falloir que je contourne la règle. On peut aussi en inventer soi-même (perso je l'ai cuit au four à 160°). Et bien sûr, il faut laisser parler sa créativité pour décorer le résultat obtenu et c'est là que ça prend toute sa valeur. Pour moi c'est un cadeau parfait pour tous mais surtout pour de jeunes ados qui ont envie d'explorer les limites du recevable en toute sécurité et envie d'exprimer qui ils sont. J'encourage les gens qui hésiteraient à aller voir les vidéos que font les gens là dessus sur internet. Surtout ne pas hésiter!
