Welcome to Journal Rash!
A publication/blog/cave/birdnest/ratstudio/newsletter devoted to artistic rashes, half-melted ideas, and the things that don’t fit neatly anywhere else.
Here’s the basic rhythm of the work:
2 paid posts each month
Journal Rash Workshop: drawings that spill off the page, stories with no ending, bad ideas that refuse to die, poems that trip over themselves, lists no one asked for, thoughts that wander so far they forget to come back…
Experimental essay: it might be an experimental essay, a behind-the-scenes art process video, notes from my three-month course at the Royal Drawing School, or anything that shows how I work, experiment, and create that month
1 occasional free post (I’ll try to post at least one every month)
By supporting Journal Rash with a paid subscription, you help me justify spending entire afternoons arranging paper scraps instead of learning SEO. Your subscription funds materials, tools, and an ongoing experiment in creative stubbornness. Thank you for making this possible!
