What qualities do dragons exemplify that inspire you 

I’m inspired by how dragons have adapted to different environments as 

seen by cultures around the world. I regard dragons as a force of nature, a 

keeper of the boundaries, which not only teach with a kind spirit, but punish 

transgressors with the swiftness of a hungry predator. It’s the respect for 

nature that the dragon represents that really drives my work. 

What materials did you use to make this piece of art 

All done digitally. Adobe ® Photoshop ® for software and a small Wacom 

tablet for drawing. The piece took about 12 hours. 

How does your art shape how you see the world 

I try always to incorporate part of the unknown world of creatures for all to 

see, as a way to educate and show respect for things that appear small but 

that still make up part of our natural world. My art makes me realize how 

much potential each creature has to adapt and live even in the harshest 

environments while realizing at the same time how fragile we can all be.

Your choice of characters and how you execute them tell a story, so 

give them some thought. 

Traditionally characters have been used as a form of decoration, 

off to the side, but if you integrate them into your piece, it will make 

it memorable. For example, let your character replace a letter by 

embedding the character in the letters. And do some research when 

adopting well-known characters or objects so you know their meaning 

and social connotation. 

Characters don’t have to be hyper realistic, either. Be creative. A 

cartoon character can carry a lot of stylizations that you can work 

into your total composition. 

worry about your line strokes. Use simple lines and keep them 

balanced. Use these as the skeleton for your shapes.

The first level of color is added here. Use a basic 

4blue for the body, yellow for the visor for contrast, 

and red for the elbow joints and the plate on the stomach. 

It is entirely up to you as to how the robot looks 

or how the joints are put together. Use a waterbased 

marker or watercolor paints to do your fills.

Scape Martinez 

• Great follow-up to the author’s first book Graff: 

The Art and Technique of Graffiti which has steadily 

sold over 27,000 copies since it was published in 

January 2009 

• The step-by-step instruction on graffiti art and 

technique in this book remains unique—the only 

other book on the market like this is the author’s 

first book. 

• The trend in graffiti art and culture continues to 

grow and expand, making graffiti more accepted as 

a form of public art. 

With lessons that delve deeper into the elements covered in Graff, readers 

will learn to expand and fine tune their graffiti techniques including 3D 

wildstyle, characters and objects, letter manipulation—as well as benefit 

from a glossary of common graffiti terms not covered in the first book. 

The book uses step-by-step demonstrations to instruct readers on use 

of easy-to-access materials like paper and pens to more complex, legallysanctioned 

wall pieces including explanations on color, composition and 

design with 6 full-scale demonstrations that show the creation of a wall 

piece from start to finish.

Your personal journal is the perfect 

place for testing the artistic waters. 

You can play with a new medium or 

technique, try out different colors and 

their effects, or consider a variety of 

formats—and feel completely free. The 

final product can remain private, or you 

can share it with others, as you wish. 

PAINT TEST DRIVE 

Liz Steel finds her journals the perfect place to test 

paints, as her notes suggest. 

INK TEST DRIVE 

This ink was supposed to be 

waterproof. Hmm. Maybe not. 

NAPKIN TEST DRIVE 

The people at the next table got captured 

on my paper napkin. I collaged it right into 

my journal. I like that the napkin became 

semi-transparent and showed the blob of 

color below. 

Define “mistake.” Often we put too much pressure on 

ourselves to be perfect. Ignore those tapes of remembered 

criticisms. Your inner critic can take a walk! 

Speed-sketching techniques can never be perfect. Neither 

can blind contour drawings you create without even 

looking at the page. Who cares 

But if you really, really hate an image, you can paint over all 

or part of it with gouache (opaque watercolor) or acrylic. Then 

either write on it or make a new image. You can also redraw an 

image on a new piece of paper and glue it over the part you 

don’t like—or glue the patch on first, then redraw. 

WRITE RIGHT OVER 

It’s hard to draw a moving cat! With a light application of blue gouache, 

I covered the sketch that didn’t work and wrote on top of it. Another 

option would have been to create a new sketch over the gouache. 

When you’re tempted to tear out or cover 

a “mistake,” remember that one of the 

benefits of creating a journal like this is that 

your progress is right there to see, from your 

earliet journals to your latest ones. Seeing how 

you’ve grown beyond your mistakes can be 

very encouraging! 

THE PATCH 

Artist Fred Crowley uses Fabriano Ingres paper as a patch to cover 

drawings that “don’t get off the ground or are clear mistakes.” The 

patch here adds a strong graphic effect, and placing it at an angle 

created a bit of dramatic tension.

Explore 45 Mixed-Media Techniques 

DARLENE OLIVIA MCELROY & SANDRA DURAN WILSON 

• Surface textures: A topic that is finding large favor 

with the mixed-media crowd. 

• Traditional techniques as well as new applications 

that have not been explored in other books such as 

the use of WonderUnder, pulled paper and plasterdipped 

gauze are explored. 

• By showcasing two artists with very different styles, 

the reader is shown that numerous options and 

approaches to the same technique are possible. 

Similar to the authors’ first best-selling book, Image Transfer Workshop, 

which gave readers more than they could ever want when it came to 

ideas for making image transfers, Surface Treatment Workshop provides 

the reader with an equally impressive amount of techniques and ideas for 

mixed-media surface treatments. In addition to over 45 stepped-out techniques, 

projects that combine the techniques into finished works of art 

are shown. Examples from both artists show how the same techniques can 

be used to yield very different results, and variations and troubleshooting 

will guide readers into endless applications for their own artwork.

unusual materials and found objects, from electronics 

packaging to tree bark to antique doorknobs. 

• Inspiring work from 9 contributing artists makes 

for great design features and photography.

The Elemental Journal is a new take on using found objects in mixedmedia 

art, marrying journaling with cast-aside items in five different substrates: 

wood, paper, metal, plastic and fabric. Inside, readers will discover 

a myriad of new ways to craft a very popular mixed-media project: the 

art journal. Author Tammy Kushnir guides readers through the process 

of gathering found objects from their attics and garages—and even the 

trash—and crafting them into personal and meaningful works of art.

New Dimensions in Bead and Wire Jewelry 

Unexpected Combinations, Unique Designs 

MARGOT POTTER 

• Unique combination: Other wire jewelry books focus on hard 

wire, while beading books often incorporate soft wire. This is 

the first book to bring them together. 

• Includes all of the classic wire-working methods jewelers love: 

wire wrapping, twisting, coiling, crochet, jigs, and chain maille 

• Though the focus of the techniques for this book is on wire, 

there are still plenty of beads. 

Readers will create 30 stepped-out projects that explore the possibilities 

for using wire as a dimensional design feature as well 

as a structural one through combinations of both hard and soft 

wire. In addition to basic wire-working techniques, the reader is 

given a thorough introduction to the various types of wire used 

throughout the book. Projects are organized into five chapters. Two chapters focus on hard-wire 

projects, two on soft wire, and a final chapter combines the two wire types. Troubleshooting tips 

are sprinkled throughout the book and three variations per chapter provide additional inspiration.

• All the projects are functional, not just decorative— 

includes chicken coops, decking and gates 

Today’s challenging economic climate has motivated many homeowners 

to stay in their current homes rather than upgrade, and this has sparked 

a major trend in what is often called the “don’t move: improve!” movement. 

By putting a small amount of money (and some time) into sprucing-up 

a backyard, homeowners can create a veritable oasis with the projects 

in this book. Not only can these projects improve quality of life, but 

building them can also be a great financial decision.

The New Traditional 

Woodworker 

From Tool Set to Skill Set to Mind Set 

JIM TOLPIN 

• Traditional (hand tool) woodworking is the fastest 

growing part of the woodworking community. 

• Most instructional books are dated and don’t reflect 

new concepts and tools 

• An under-discussed topic that will benefit from Jim 

Tolpin’s authoritative name 

Hand working wood to make furniture is a very different experience from 

machining wood to make it. Making furniture the old fashioned way isn’t 

as fast or efficient as making it with machines —but that isn’t the point 

when woodworking is seen as an avocation and the woodworker becomes 

fully immersed and engaged in the wood. In The New Traditional 

Woodworker, Tolpin addresses all aspects of woodworking with hand tools 

from setting up the shop, to explaining how the tools work, to joinery. 

He finishes with instructions on building workshop accessories to use 

with hand tools. Also included are other sample projects and information 

on finishing them.

With a Short Treatise on Wood 

IVIN SICKELS, M.S., M.D. 

• 39 excellent exercises for beginning woodworkers 

• Hand-tool woodworking history, and how it can be used in the 

modern shop 

• 19 sections on trees, the structure of wood, how to value it (in
