My Journal

a dot journal to help me visualize my favorite intangible art

Isaac Dunbar

Isaac has become one of my favorite musical artists over the years. His lyricism and musicality are like no other. My affection for his work grew to be too overwhelming to be fed by auditory listening, so I attempted to capture his aura in this spread.

BE AWAKE by The Boyz

This album's concept and music video for its title track "Roar" caught my attention in ways I struggled to describe. This time, the visuals perfectly conveyed the attitude of the music, so I made my own personal collage with the official album materials.

TRENCH by Twenty One Pilots

I have always cherished this music duo and the message they preach. This particular album came with captivating symbolism and lyricism, which inspired this spread.

SUPERACHE by Conan Gray

This spread was inspired by the picture of Conan Gray on the first page. I thought his outfit perfectly conveyed the message of the album Superache - how beautiful and heart-wrenching it is to be in love - and I decided to expand that feeling in my journal.

ALL FOR THE GAME by Nora Sakavic

It is extremely difficult to explain how I feel about this book trilogy and what inspired me to put it on paper. It is tragic, humorous, romantic, and quite frankly, ridiculous. The story unfolds as the characters navigate their way through a season of the fictional collegiate sport 'exy,' and this spread is meant to mimic their team roster.

the character artwork used in this spread is not my own.

THE RAVEN CYCLE by Maggie Stiefvater

Maggie Stiefvater writes so powerfully that it was impossible to leave this story without a complete picture in my head. Consequently, I felt the need to visualize my two favorite characters - Ronan Lynch and Adam Parrish - in my own way.
