Disappearance // This Is Not A Book {pages 22-23} // April 20, 2015
I used masked tape and pieces of paper when creating this WTNV fanart and then peeled it all off and stuck into THIS IS NOT A BOOK. I think it looks nice and messy. There is a quote hidden in it:
“Precipitate as weather, she appeared from somewhere, then evaporated, leaving only memory.” ― Haruki Murakami, Dance Dance Dance

I am so proud of this page! This is my most favourite Welcome to Night Vale quote and I think this page turned out quite well. (Even better than I expected!)
“There is a thin semantic line separating weird and beautiful. And this line is covered in jellyfish. Welcome to Night Vale.” – Episode 22 “The Whispering Forest”.
I used spray inks, gouache, gel pens. (And a masking tape that I reused for another page.)

This is the page that I did yesterday. I saw this line somewhere on tumblr, so I take no credit for that. (Not sure if I should add more colour to the butterflies or not.)
Both this one and the previous page were gessoed. I am learning the process and quite enjoying. The only downfall is that gesso and some paints smell funny and this is not a good thing as I develop headaches easily from weird smells.

This is my very first mixed media page in my art journal! I got so excited when I got my Amazon order that I had to try some of those things immediately. I put masking tape around the edges of the page to prevent ink and paint from leaking into other pages and when I took those off they had some much lovely ink on it that I wanted to use them. So I stuck them (as well as extra paint on my stencil) to this “blank page” in This Is Not a Book.
I am really happy with the result!
p.s. I put waxing paper between the pages to prevent them from sticking to each other. Just in case. Because every time I touch the paper my fingers get dirty, so I decided to make sure nothing gets smeared. =\
