Workbooks are folded and stapled, black and white xerox on paper, with paper covers. Some workbooks have cardstock covers with colored paper pages. Where indicated, covers, and covers only, are in full color. I am selling a process, not a product. The booklets are not the "thing" but rather house a virtual workshop using my process. The real "thing" is your own expression, guided by my assignments. The following is a description of the original live workshop to give you an idea of what's in store in this workbook to jumpstart your creativity! This workbook includes: how to choose a book, what is a visual journal, some insights into my philosophy, 5-6 detailed assignments that layer mixed media with journal writing for the ultimate in expression! plus homework assignments.

The Pirate’s Code - Extreme Journalism w/ Juliana Coles with full color cover.

Fellow Pirates and renegades, thar be treasure in these here uncharted waters. So if ye be ready to experience a meaningful encounter with the Self, then come with me, ye know who ye be. Hoist the Pirate colours, and batten down the hatches mates, ‘cause we’re going out to sea...deep into the center of our being for treasure beyond our imagination; that’s right -gold, jewels, and the occasional artifact of our existence. Set sail through various journal writing assignments combined with art making exercises to dig deep to find ourselves and tell our unique story in the container of a mixed media book of self-exploration. In this creative and expressive excavation, we’ll journey to our rich interior and return to tell the tales of Ahoy! We’ve Found her in all this mess, this churning sea of life, this buried soul in the Bermuda triangle, this unentered darkness of scattered bones and blood; this is where our real life wants to be resurrected and dug up. Not perfected, controlled, or prettified for some imagined audience that ain’t us or who we want to be, but raw, honest, gut-wrenching, pure and powerful- as is- without the need for embellishment or damn critic. Welcome, treasure seekers, this mysterious cavernous underworld be my terrain: I work and create in these dark waters and treacherous reefs so frightening and yet so hauntingly beautiful. And as the Captain, I know where the hidden map is where X marks the spot. Deep within. Isn’t time to uncover your true being?

Come aboard, I know you‘re ready for this journey

IMPORTANT NOTE ********These booklets were designed as companions to my workshops and while they were never meant to stand alone, this booklet is pretty easy to follow along, but if you should have any questions or assignments are unclear, well, one, you're a pirate, just go for it and act like you know what you are doing, but two, you can always email me, the captain, for clarification. But try sailing your own ship first and see what happens before I throw you a life preserver!*********
