Every time I go to my local thrift store I gravitate towards the book section; today I spotted this beauty:
I open it hoping it to be some lost book about magic, but it turned out to be some old boring book about how to be a secretary, it looked old, I checked the date and it was from 1925, and it had that weird smell, and mustard color that only vintage books have, so I bought it for 50 cents. "What can I do with it, it's so romantic looking, it's a beauty" I kept repeating to my self, so I decided to turn it into a VisUaL JouRnal
Also, "that movie which must not be named" opens tomorrow [today technically], are you going to go see it? not me, that thing took away my precious harry potter! and delayed it for the next year :( Yes I'm talking about you Twilight, don't pretend like your didn't here me, betch.

Hey Franco...
What a great idea! I didn't realize you were such a talented artist... If it were me, it would be filled with stick figures!!!! hehe... Glad you found a good purpose for your secretary book!!
You know, we get movies several months behind the U.S. so I'm not sure about this Twilight film you mentioned... Let us know if it's good... (if you go to see it or hear if it's good)...
A bientôt... Leese
What a great idea, hun, how you turned it into something so fantastic.
Love the visuals.

I totally 100% agree with you on that imposter movie that-shall-not-be-named!

Gosh, I'm so dorky.
Amazing! What a brilliant idea. i bet you could sell your visual journals on etsy!
Such a neat idea - love it!
haha it's good to hear you're not into twilight! yeah and i was wondering about that.. it seems that this is the time of year for harry fans to rejoice.
the book is amazing. i can't wait to see a completed project! fab idea.
Just like to state (for the record) I am most certainly not going to the convention lol!! Bit OTT but I await the film to open here with excitement...
Lurve your artwork :)
