Description: Express yourself with art journaling in the 21st Century! Combine online interaction with the mixed-media artist's love of art journaling- and you have the winning combination of Digital Art Wonderland. After an introduction on how digital applications are appropriate for the concept of journaling, you will be guided step-by-step through eight tutorials, each one giving them new techniques for not only scanning original art and doctoring it up digitally, but also the how-to for creating digital art from scratch. In addition, you'll be walked through the process of setting up a blog, adding personal design touches, networking with social media, designing with type, writing styles and more. Plus, for those of us who may not be into blogging, this book provides information on printing digital art.
The art of husband-and-wife team Angi Sullins and Silas Toball has been featured in several publications including Somerset Studio, Somerset Digital and Smashing Magazine.

So I'm playing in my collage journal the other day, just placing things this way and that on acrylic-painted Fabriano paper, and I get in a groove. Something manifests that I like. Really like. But I'm thinking "G-yod, I wish I had some Photoshop skills. What could this piece become if I knew my way around alpha channels, masking tools and clone stamps?"
Dang.
So I look up from my desk to gaze at my gorgeous husband Silas, who is, (guess what?) a Photoshop guru. Now I've been with this guy for six years and if I haven't learned Photoshop yet, I ain't gonna learn it. It's my own lazy fault, 'cuz Silas has been a professional Photoshop teacher since 1997. But marrying a digital art guru has its perks. "Hey! Wanna challenge?"
And thus it begins. Silas takes my journal, scans in the collage and starts playing. An hour into it, I'm so excited by what I see on his screen my brain begins inspiration-reeling with ideas. "Wonder what Aimee would do with this same image?" Aimee is a dear friend and also a highly skilled digital artist in the Duirwaigh crew. So I jump onto my chat program: "Hey Aimee! We've started a collage project and want to challenge you to participate. Did you just hear that? It was the sound of the gauntlet falling to the floor. Pick it up or die of shame."
