We are the Journal Fodder Junkies, and we are addicted to the Visual Journal.

He earned his Bachelor of Science in Art Education from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania, and currently lives and teaches in Loudoun County, Virginia where he has been teaching art at the high school level with twelve years of experience.

Since coming to the visual journal about ten years ago, it has become a major force in David and Eric’s personal growth and creative development, and both use the visual journal format extensively in their own lives. Combined, they have filled twenty-one volumes of visual journals and seem to never be without their journals. With a combined twenty-five years of teaching experience in the public schools, Dave and Eric have used the visual journals in their classrooms and have implemented them in a variety of ways into their curricula teaching their students a variety of techniques, ideas, and concepts to use in the visual journal

In 2005, they teamed up together to officially become the Journal Fodder Junkies (JFJ). As the Journal Fodder Junkies, Dave and Eric have implemented a variety of workshops on the ways of the journal to all who seek its creative power. Since inception, the Journal Fodder Junkies have provided formal and informal presentations at a variety of schools, universities, conferences, and institutions.
