Think of Keri Smith's 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. Bestselling author Keri Smith is a freelance illustrator by trade, and has illustrated for the Washington Post, The New York Times, Ford Motor Company, People, The Body Shop and Hallmark. She is the author of Wreck This Journal, How to be an Explorer of the World and Mess: The Manual of Accidents and Mistakes. She lives in Canada.

Sammendrag: "Wreck This Journal" er en guidet kreativ notesbog, hvor hver side beder læseren om at gøre noget utraditionelt med selve bogen: f.eks. prikke huller i siderne, hælde kaffe på dem, skrive eller tegne vildt, lime ting ind, tage bogen med i regnvejr eller poste den til sig selv. Ved at udføre disse små destruktive og legende handlinger opfordres brugeren til at give slip på idéen om det perfekte resultat og i stedet opleve den kreative proces som fri, fysisk og eksperimenterende. Bogen er særlig oplagt til personer, der synes det er svært at komme i gang med at skrive dagbog eller fylde en sketchbook, og som ønsker et lavpraktisk, humoristisk spark til deres kreativitet.
