Sorry for the journal spam. Since I had so many links for this edition, I broke it up into two parts. Plus I kind of messed up on the initial post and ended up having to remove it, but I think I have everything sorted now. There's lots to cover, but if you're only here for the free art opportunities, then check the bottom of this journal and the beginning of the next. Anyway, on to today's journals:
