Basically they are lizardy journals
What we used to create these nifty cold blooded critter effects is a product made by Kroma Paint in Vancouver BC.
The store is located at one of the coolest places in Vancouver...Granville Island
It's an great place filled with galleries, artists, markets, and other things arty.
So I recently went out there and hung out with the owner, Kevin...who rode up on his skateboard.
I wanted to mention a cool product that I used in class...Kroma Crackle. This has just started to be distributed in the states. It's an amazing product....with killer effects. Kroma has devoted an etire website to this stuff: www.kromacrackle.com
If you go to the site, it will tell you how to use the goods.
Here's the cool part...
Typically it takes a day or so the get the full crackle effect....
I've figured out how to get it to crackle INSTANTANEOUSLY!!!
That's right INSTANT CRACKLE Woo Hoo!
For now it is Top Secret...In fact I haven't even told Kevin how to do it yet...he he he...
Don't worry I'll share...for now though, I'm keeping it special for the Cold Blooded Journal Classes this year.
Here's where I'll be doin' this Crackle technique this year:
Zinnia - S. Pasadena CA
Art Clinic - Solvang CA
Collage - Portland OR
Art is You -Petaluma, CA
Art is You - Danbury CT

Not a big lizard lover but I love these journals they look amazing. Really like the idea of texture class too.
There are times I think your patron saint is Geiger.
Wish I were partaking of any of your real time classes this year. Looks like I need to live on the west coast.
See you on the interwebs.
Would love to know how to get the crackle fast! See how you tease us!
Oh my! I think I am in love. I'm going to have to have some of that crackle.
Love the creativity of those journals. Looks like the would make awesome props for a good scifi movie. I half expect them to start moving.
So cool, I mean cold. If I guess the secret process can I win a scholarship for the online textures class? Leapin' iguanas, I am excited!!!!!
Wow! This is a fabulous treatment. Can't wait for your online texture class. Now I'll have to try to get some Kroma crackle though it sounds as though I'll have to get it from US.I'm already thinking I should go to the US next year to try to catch one of your classes... Depends on available $$ though, as always.
OMGosh! These are a hoot! I loooove them! I hope you are coming to Topsfield to do this class! BTW..I put up info on your video class on my typepad blog.
