The book and me the artist

So, what is the essence of my artist’s journal. What does it bring me apart from a convenient collecting of far flung doodles? Browsing through it can give me great pleasure, and inspire me in a general sort of way. Particular ideas are waiting to be re-used or developed, so I can be inspired in a specific way. Any of the ideas or mini-works might launch me into some other path – this is hard to measure, as I think a lot of that is happening unconsciously. As well as all that, the book is a confidence booster, when my belief in myself is flagging. It reassures me that I have something going on, and encourages me to press on with new creation.
