Firstly, Vern mate, cracking journal pages. Really great stream of consciousness combinations of notes, sketches, doodles, illustration and musings. Looks like the inside of somebody's head and I love it! Secondly, I'm in the process of setting up a website featuring paintings, illustration, art and poetry inspired by travel. The Matador 'Journal pages' features always appeal to me as a very direct way of learning about people's experiences and inspired by this I want to create an online community where people can showcase travel-related artwork; there doesn't seem to be an eqivalent in existence at the moment. I was wondering if anybody had any thoughts about this. As a community with a definite interest in travel is this something that you'd like to see on the web? Cheers! Kath Hello hello!

I'm fascinated with looking at others' journals, yet it often leaves me feeling like I am lacking in the talent department. "Just text? Zzzzzzzz." Very nice illustrations.

One of those bizarre social experiments you find yourself in every now and then, running the streets of town you don't really recognize with a bunch of dudes you don't really know. Booze fueled. Chaos. Heat. Meat markets. Exhaustion. A glimpse of a baseball game somewhere in the mix. Life just gets stranger. Well, there was no Vernonbacher, but it was all good.
