The no-books of Keri Smith

THE NO-BOOKS OF KERI SMITH

Today I'm going to talk about Keri Smith and her books, or rather her no-books as she call them.
Keri Smith is an author, illustrator and a guerrilla artist, which means that she creates street art. She is also a freelance illustrator and has most recently worked for "Random House", "The Washington Post", "The New York Times" as well as for companies like "Ford Motor Company"
Her writing is usually on the topic of creativity.  The first book of Keri Smith that I bought was "Wreck this journal" As the title sais, is a journal that you can wreck. It's an illustrated book that features a subversive collection of prompts, asking the readers to must up their best mess making habilities to fill the pages of the book and destroy them.
Through the pages of this book you can do things like add photos and defacing them, paint with coffee and more in order to experience the true creative process.
The second book of this autor that I bought was "This in not a book" this no-book can be a lot of things, for example a secret message, I remember that in one of the firts pages I had to tear out a page, write a note on it for a stranger, and leave it in a public place. In other of the pages I had to write the name of everyone I contacted that day, and other page asked me to create as many sounds as I can using the book, like flipping the pages fast or slapping the cover.
There are many photos about the things you can do with the journal:
