WATERMARK

[I'm planning a series of posts on resources for digital art journalers and collage artists, beginning with digital designers who focus on art journaling. I'm linking to designer blogs or Facebook pages, rather than (or in addiition to) shops, since designers sometimes move shops, and often do guest spots at shops other than their own.] 

UPDATE: Tangie now has her own shop, with her mother, Rebecca McMeen, at Tangie Baxter & Co.

First, of course, is Tangie Baxter:

Tangie is a full- time artist, graphic designer, workshop instructor and “Tour Guide” of the Art Journal Caravan , a year long digital and mixed-media art journal workshop, now in its 3rd year. With five intense years of Photoshop experience, she has pushed the boundaries of the program beyond what it was originally created for and is considered one of the pioneers of “Digital Art Journaling”.

I've done the Art Journal Caravan all three years (I joined late the first year) and it continues to be an inspiration for me. Tangie is an excellent teacher and "tour guide". She offers kits, elements, templates, styles (her Paperworn Art Styles are a must-have) and hand-drawn fonts through her shop at Studio Tangie, all designed for digital art journaling. 

Tangie has long been a paper and mixed-media art journaler, and this is reflected in her style, if she can be said to have a style other than Tangie Style. Her kits include scanned vintage and retro images as well as hand-drawn and painted elements. I love her Splatter Grafitti Borders: 

 A few of my favorite kits:

Oh What Rapture!

Tangie's shop is stuffed with high-quality goodies, and I don't say this because I am on her Creative Team. I'm on her Creative Team because I love working with her creations. 

Here are some of my pages made with Tangie's work:
