A Creative, Childish, Liberating, Journaling Experience!!
If you're looking for a unique, creative gift for ANYONE, especially teenagers, this is definitely it. Be sure to get one for your BFF too! I can't even imagine how much fun a group of girls would have working on these journals together.
Yes, You Are Literally Supposed to Wreck It!
Wreck This Journal, I Dare You!
“Tremendously liberating!”
Wreck This Journal
Amazon Price: $9.97 (as of 07/10/2009)
For anyone who's ever wished to, but had trouble starting, keeping, or finishing a journal or sketchbook comes Wreck This Journal, an illustrated book that features a subversive collection of prompts, asking readers to muster up their best mistake- and mess-making abilities to fill the pages of the book (and destroy them). Acclaimed illustrator Keri Smith encourages journalers to engage in "destructive" acts-poking holes through pages, adding photos and defacing them, painting with coffee, and more-in order to experience the true creative process. Readers discover a new way of art and journal making-and new ways to escape the fear of the blank page and fully engage in the creative process.
This Is The Coolest Gift of the Year!
Warning:
If you are giving this book to a younger child you may want to remove the page that instructs you to "burn this page".

That is most definitely cool. I wander if you could set up one in an office or community, each person having the task of doing one thing from a page the others have not done yet - you would end up with a community journal with an impression from each and every member!

No Way!

I wonder if it has a reverse psychology effect on those kids who actually do like to destroy stuff?

Great idea! I love the reverse-psychology aspect--instead of the journal as some supersecret holy book, it's just some pages to wreck. nice

I saw this and it appeared to be the perfect present for someone very close to me - hopefully it will inspire them and get past some of their creative blockages.
