Art Journal inspiration

I'm headed out of town later this week to work on a show for a couple months, and have decided that instead of taking scrapbook layouts to work on I'm going to focus on art journaling in my down time. So will pack up my case with a couple of the various journals I've got started, and as many of the tubes and jars of mediums and colours and collage pieces as will fit - plus a roll of kraft paper to cover the desk in the hotel room ;) So my question, along the lines of your favourite crafting videos, is who are your faves or go-to folks specifically for art journaling/mixed media? Videos or blogs. I haven't art journaled consistently enough to figure out my own style yet, so want to try some different things and see where it takes me. But please don't inundate me with dozens and dozens unless your very faves are the top 1 or 2; I won't have time for a lot, but should be able to focus on a few of the very best.
The two that immediately come to my mind are Wilna Furstenberg and Vicky Papaioannou. Who else ya' got?

When I was doing mixed media I liked Christy Tomlinson, but she's in to planners now. Her old stuff is on YouTube tho.

Adele Toomey - Let's Get Inkie https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtwg42 ... g/featured
Nika in Wonderland - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrrtlf ... 1vI1g/feed
Of course, Donna Downey has her weekly series which is now a paid class ($35 for the year - amazing bargain) but all her old videos should still be available?
Roben-Marie Smith is great https://www.youtube.com/user/robenmarie.

ETA - Irit Landgraf - how did I forget her? https://www.youtube.com/user/iritlandgraf/featured

I hope you'll be able to stay in touch with us during that time and show us what you're working on.

Vicky was the one I was going to suggest. I like Roben-Marie also.

Here in Canada they just moved Ransom to Wed nights. Enjoy it while you can ladies, it's not doing so well in the ratings and I fear there won't be a second season.

I've started prep on a movie for Netflix called Christmas Inheritance. No idea yet who will be in it. Hoping to get some crafting in while I'm here.
