I am thrilled to be a contributing artist in a new and unique book written by Gabrielle Javier-Cerulli titled Art Journal Your Archetypes.
The book explores the process of art journaling, introduces the concept of archetypes, and shows you approaches to combine these two areas. An archetype is partially defined as "an inherited pattern of thought or symbolic imagery derived from the past collective experience." Common archetypes include Artist, Visionary, Goddess, Healer, Lover, Mentor, Rebel and Warrior. Knowing your archetypes helps you to better know your self. Art journaling does this too.
Gabrielle provides a test to find out your guiding archetypes and then helps you to express those in your journal. Despite the focus on archetypes, this is truly an art technique book as the majority of pages take you through illustrated, step-by-step tutorials for art journaling techniques.
---------------------------
I am among a number of guest artists - including Nathalie Kalbach, Jessica Sporn, Mary Beth Shaw, and Orly Avineri - who have contributed journal pages we created based on our archetypes. Happy to share my pieces below:

Oh this is so great to see! Archetypes are such a powerful way to connect with the self and the psyche!
As a person who loves any thing and everything Jungian I have been exploring and studying Archetypes through mythology for many years now. The Jungian Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes who wrote Women Who Run With the Wolves, has been a profound and powerful inspiration for my artwork. As well Greek mythology and imagery of the Mythic Tarot has also provided wonderful subject matter for me.
It looks wonderful, and WHAT an HONOR!

Thank YOU, Seth.
This looks like the perfect book to help me in the continuation of my journey into re-discovering my creative self. Since attending an Art is You retreat earlier this year, I have begun to find more and more art that inspires me and fuels my inner creativity. Love the concept of this book and all that it has to offer!
Very helpful if one wanted to tell their story! ;-)
I have a sudden need for books about art journals, this one looks really awesome! Archetypes are an interesting subject to explore...Congrats on another fine contribution! carrolldavies(at)gmail(dot)com
This book is definitely going on my To Read list, whether I win it or buy it. Happy that you were included-but of course you would be...a perfect match.
Congratulations on being included in this book, Seth. I have just recently started my first art journal and would be thrilled to learn some techniques. Thank you for the chance to win a copy!
I love that this book has a unique approach to art journaling. Your pages are fantastic, as always.

Who wouldn't be thrilled to bits to win a copy of this fascinating book! The line up you've mentioned is stellar and I bet there is so much to learn from them. Crossing fingers. Jenny x
Well, I would sure like a copy of this book! I am throwing my hat into the ring, Seth. Since I still haven't won anything I figure one of the days I am due.......
oh, Seth, what a great book to have a chance of winning! my email is in my profile.
Love your artwork! I don´t know if this is international giveaway - but I sure would love to win that book!
What a fabulous concept, I love mixing art with psychology and philosophy so this would be right up my street. Thanks for the chance to get a copy. How wonderful you gave been included. Hugs Brenda xxx. brenda_brown25@hotmail.com
And what is your archetype, Seth??
This looks to be such a fascinating book, I like the angle of the archetype and would be curious to learn which I would be. Psychology, philosophy alongside our art helps to unlock our own stories and although art journaling is a discipline I have barely dipped my toes into, it is one which intrigues me. For some reason I am holding back at the moment, maybe that is the lesson I need to learn, to dive in and allow myself the freedom to express.
Thank you for this generous giveaway.

Art journaling is fairly new to me and I am very interested in exploring new techniques. I am intrigued by the archetype concept, too. joybird1223(at)gmail(dot)com.
I've not heard of this book or of using archetypes in art journaling. Maybe this is what I need to give me some direction? I've started art journaling numerous times but just haven't found anything that motivates me yet. What do you think? If I win, you can email me via Google Blogger. Thanks so much!
Some of my best friends are archetypes! As I journal, I'd be the last person to question my archetypes so I'd be thrilled to have a book all about them. Also I'd love to have a book with contributions from some of my favorite art journalists.
Seth I would love to win I love all your stuff and I have so much I would love to add this I'm sure this is just as great as all the rest. Thanks dud for the chance. Francine

Congrats!!!! This is so cool! I would love to have a copy of this book!

I just found you on pinterest & I'm glad I did. I use archetypes some in my work as a coach. I lead yoga/repurposed art retreats & could see this being a great theme for a retreat. Will check it out on Amazon.
I LOVE the concept of journaling Archetypes...had never considered that "theme" before; The Hero, The Caregiver, The Explorer, The Creator (we Artsy Kindreds), etc.

I am fairly new to Art Journaling, my style is usually very intuitive and raw. I haven't heard about Archetypes in journaling before so did a little research to see what it was about. It looks incredibly interesting and would be great inspiration for artwork in general. It takes you down a whole new road and opens doors for many new ideas.
Thanks for sharing :)
Fascinating! I am thoroughly interested. Thanks for the opportunity

To be able to learn from some of the best of the best is a dream of mine! I am unable to attend outside classes due to health issues but having this book to learn from and get inspired by would be the next best thing unless the best want to stop by my home and have a good meal, good drink and lots of crafty fun while teaching me their secrets! Now THAT would be a real dream come true!! Good thing I have a vivid imagination! LOL
Fingers crossed and thanks for the chance to win this book!
You know I love every thing you create. So happy for you and this new publication. Hugs.
If there is one thing I love, it is having amazing art books on my shelf to read and refer to. I would love to add this one to my growing collection. I know it is filled with wonderful art and wise words.
Have been trying to start an art journal for way too many years. Would love to read more about it. Thank you the chance to win a copy.
