An Illustrated Journey: Inspiration From the Private Art Journals of Traveling Artists, Illustrators and Designers

Travel + Sketching = Inspiration

When we travel, we don’t want to follow the same itinerary as everyone who’s come before us. We want to feel like explorers, adventurers in undiscovered territory. And that’s exactly what sketching can bring to the travel experience.

An Illustrated Journey captures the world through the eyes of 40 talented artists, illustrators and designers. You’ll experience the wonder of seeing familiar sights through a fresh lens but, more important, you’ll be inspired to set pen to paper and capture your own vistas.

The really wonderful thing about a sketchbook is that it can be totally private. You don’t have to have an ounce of talent to enjoy learning how to really see what’s in front of you. But lucky for us, the sketchbooks captured here are lovely, creative, intimate windows into each artist’s mind.

So, whether you’re just returning to the art of drawing, abandoned by most of us after childhood, or you’re looking for inspiration to take your illustration work in a new direction, An Illustrated Journey will take you on a wonderful trip of the imagination. All you need to pack are a pencil and a piece of paper.

An Illustrated Life: Drawing Inspiration from the Private Sketchbooks of Artists, Illustrators and Designers

Find Insight and Inspiration for Your Creative Life

An artist’s journal is packed with sketches and captions; some rough, some polished. The margins sometimes spill over with hurriedly scrawled shopping lists and phone numbers. The cover may be travel-worn and the pages warped from watercolors. Open the book, and raw creativity seeps from each color and line. The intimacy and freedom on its pages are almost like being inside the artist’s mind: You get a direct window into risks, lessons, mistakes, and dreams.

The private worlds of these visual journals are exactly what you’ll find inside An Illustrated Life. This book offers a sneak peak into the wildly creative imaginations of 50 top illustrators, designers and artists. Included are sketchbook pages from R. Crumb, Chris Ware, James Jean, James Kochalka, and many others. In addition, author Danny Gregory has interviewed each artist and shares their thoughts on living the artistic life through journaling.

Watch artists—through words and images—record the world they see and craft the world as they want it to be. The pages of An Illustrated Life are sometimes startling, sometimes endearing, but always inspiring. Whether you’re an illustrator, designer, or simply someone searching for inspiration, these pages will open a whole new world to you.

Amazon Best of the Month, December 2008: Danny Gregory’s An Illustrated Life is a visual delight of color and texture–a funky and frenetic “book about books people have made,” perfect for chronic doodlers, journalers, and art lovers. Sharing vibrant excerpts from the notebooks of 50 illustrators, artists, and designers, each accompanied by an introduction by the artist, it’s a gorgeous, intimate exploration of the creative process. Gregory’s passion for the “illustrated journal” is infectious–for him, artist’s sketchbooks represent a nonthreatening place to record “risks, mistakes, regrets, thoughts, lessons, and dreams.” Whether you are charmed by the illustrations of Amanda Kavanagh, or intimidated by the musings of Stefan Sagmeister, poring over this eclectic group of fledgling and famous “artists” will inspire you to tackle an illustrated journal of your own. –Daphne
