Lists are a great way to get thoughts out of your head, and there are fun ways to get those lists into your art journal. Let's get started with a list, of course. A quick interview with a bunch of artists about using lists

1. From Listography, a list of lists to make, including bands you've seen live, the packing list for your next trip, a list of favorite smells.
