You bet ‘Wreck your Journal’ is wonderful.
I have had a wierd obsession with not breaking the bind of new books. And of course to me absolute horror, one of the first things to do was ‘crack the spine’. Honestly I had to skip that page. But the next day I scrounged up the courage and I BROKE THE BIND. Yeah I did it. I was so proud of myself. And I really did a number on it too. :):)

Thank you Keri Smith.

I’m really so happy to have stumbled upon you! I was randomly looking up illustrators on Google and i recognized your style of illustration from your home page (plus the link that said “Wreck This Journal.” I got my copy of “Wreck This Journal” at an Urban Outfitters in Chicago, and I have had tremendous joy following all the directions (and adding some of my own!) to destroy the book. I’m not sure why this provides such entertainment (and this slightly disturbs me) because I’m a college art student focusing in illustration and I typically try to create beautiful things… I suppose this is a creative and interesting way to release my energy in a different way. Anyhow, I just wanted to say nice work and if you have any tips for a young (and hopeful) illustrator, I would be more than happy to hear them!

Hello. I am a children’s clerk at Borders and I have been trying to get Wreck This Journal moved to the adult section (or at least young adult) for some time now, but Borders corporate won’t budge. It looks like a really cool, cathartic book, but I don’t get the impression that this journal is intended for children of elementary and middle school age, but that’s the section we have it in. What would you say? Where would you rather see this book in a store? Art? Writing? Humor?

Wow Keri, I am in love with your book! I am a mixed media artist with artist block. I haven’t really created anything since August of last year. I am in need of inspiration and what better inspiration but a journal that “tells me what to do”. I do have to admit that I already use some of the items in my art that you are telling us to “wreck this journal” with…..office supplies, various pens, magazine images, etc. I have even burned pages in my art books. I am telling everyone about my good fortune (my dear friend Timona bought it for me). Check out my blog post:

….I’m going to post the “wrecking” that I do to my blog…..I’m so jacked about this journal!

WOW! Yes i agree, with WTJ im having a lot more fun! I work at an ice cream store, so I took the journal with me and used the book (opened) as a sundae bowl and made my ice cream in it. It works as great a bowl! ^_^

I fully intend at one point to tie it to the back of my moped and ride through Key West with it and if it survives and I’m done demolishing it, I will throw it into the razor wire on the fence at work and watch it shred to pieces :3

Thank you for your creativity and time that you put into these projects.

Yay! I’m so glad you like my video. If you look closely, you can see bits of paper fluttering out and into the bushes. I didn’t even go searching for them, which is when I realized how much fun I’ve had with WTJ, and how much I’ve learned.

When I got the Journal last year I was a little wary, because I used to be one of those people who buys lots of beautiful blank books, then never fills them. I had loads of sticker sheets, all unpeeled. But I read about the concept of wabi-sabi, took a deep breath, and poured a cup of coffee over the book.

Now I’m filling blank journals with wreckless abandon and scribbling all over the place! And I don’t think I’m the first or the last person to experience this. I’ve given three copies to friends, and I’m glad to be a part of this community.

So, I guess what I’m trying to say is, thank you!
