VJ Book Club
The VJ Book Club, Lia’s brainchild, is part of the VJ Program offered by RBR. We meet once a month to discuss, but more importantly to illustrate our impressions of the current book. We use the same techniques developed in our visual journal (vj) workshops: text-on-image or image-on-image to create surprising and fun visuals. Enjoy the art from past meetings on page 3, vjbookart.
For all programs offered by RBR, see http://www.rbrart.com
