In the interview I explain my background in etching, watercolor, reverse painting, painting on canvas and my devotion to my journal as a seedbed for self knowledge. The Issue I appear in is #6 and of special interest I think to all lovers of Nick Bantock (and who isn't?) is a wonderful, in-depth interview in the same issue where he talks freely (and for a long time) about his process of painting and collage. He is a most fascinating artist with wonderful insights into the creative process and he is able to articulate quite successfully how he navigates his way through a painting as it is coming into being.
If you want to understand his definition of parallex view and how it affects your experience of being alive, you will want to sit with this DVD and listen to his fascinating ideas. He does a great job of walking you through several painting/collages he has created and deconstructing them for your understanding. It made me want to grab my collage stash and get to work.
You can see a video clip of Nick here (scroll down until you see his face) and you can order your own copy of the DVD here. I'm going to go watch my copy again now; I thought Karen Landey, the videographer who has worked so artfully on this project, has done a remarkable job and I think the results are worthwhile.
Now the clip of me:

A great interview! I want to create a journal so badly. And I don't know what is stopping me - when you said that at first you might have to 'fake' it - well, maybe that is what I need to do.
Beautiful! You were great. Thanks for all the wisdom and encouragement you offer.
Wonderful interview. Very inspiring. Off to work in my journal...

i heart you and this video. it's so good to hear your voice and see your smile as you talk about what you love.
Wow Judy it's great to hear your voice, you sound exactly as I imagined you would. I journal the same was as you, adding things at different stages, always leaving the option open to add something later, and having to do art every day. Thanks for sharing, just wish it was longer.

You excite me so. I loved hearing your voice and what you had to say. I am so motivated at this very moment.
Thanks.
oh now THIS is just beyond wonderful, you are as real and inspirational on tape as you are in person. i'm off to order a copy!

Judy you are a gift! it is so wonderful to hear you encouraging others to be strong, even if to start you have to fake it, because that is nothing more than the first step of a life journey that begins there, with that first, fearful attempt and along the way almost without noticing it, one becomes strong and committed, believing in one's art and in the power to create.
Only those who have walked that road know that making it happen is the only way to liberate yourself, to become one with your creative spirit and understand in one's bones what Picasso said about art washing away from the soul the dust of everyday life. My dear, your soul radiates the light of a woman who is following her bliss. I celebrate your strength and your art, which is you.
Aw shucks Judy, that video is the icing on the cake of my day. You look & sound so good! And of course the sum of what you say is really WISE. Because you are. You really really are. Amen. xo
I love your video Judy Wise! Thank you for your generosity of spirit. I am just beginning journalling and I am so excited about it. How you work with it was so important to me at this point. So much inspiration - thank you!
Great Clip! I journal, not as much as I like. The last two journal I did make myself and have enjoyed them much more then the store boughten ones. Do you have any tip on making the signatures? And then putting it all together? Any help is appreciate.

My favorite and only tutorial on making my own journal is here: http://www.teeshamoore.com/how_to_make_journals.htm
I have made a half dozen journals now based on Teesha's instructions and they are simple, strong and beautiful. The 8x10 size really appeals to me too.
So wonderful!
You're FABULOUS, Judy! ... Such a source of inspiration each and every time I visit. I truly appreciate your priceless pearls... now, where's my journal!?!? Hugs, Shari
"I need the color."
Sooooo great to see you in video.
fabulous fabulous more more!
You rock, Judy! I love the video clip, and you look totally at ease with the camera!
love the video! you did a great job!
It is so fun to see you do this. You are a natural with your calm soft spoken encouragement. I think your journals are treasures.
Also, I wanted to tell you that your doubtful feelings about yourself are like all of ours and have no real bearing on how much admiration you deserve and instill in others. Thanks for showing us the fire that is blazing inside you!
