WELCOME TO SLOPPY COPY :
WHERE MESSY IDEAS BECOME MAGIC
Slow down. Feel deeply. Make a mess. Our handcrafted prompts help you uncover the stories hidden in your art journal.
Welcome to Sloppy Copy
Sloppy Copy creates a no‑pressure space to explore, reflect, and express who we are — not just through words alone, but through the tactile magic of paper in a junk journal. Our guided prompts invite you to play with torn pages, personal relics, and forgotten scraps, turning your mess into magic — where every page is alive.
*** PLEASE NOTE: I’m still shaping these prompts — gathering scraps, questions, and a little mischief. Want to be the first to know when they’re ready? Add your name and email to the waitlist. The images are temporary stand‑ins while I work with artists on the real covers.

Character Prompt Cards
Character prompts invite you to explore your own identity or build a fictional persona through collage, texture, and intuitive play. Use scraps, images, and layers to uncover hidden truths and watch your character — or yourself — come alive on the page.

Find an abandoned journal, planner, or notebook. Use what you find, and trust what finds you to create your visual story.
Texture and Collage
Layer torn pages, textures, and fragments of life to
weave stories that feel tactile and deeply personal.
Inner Story
Celebrate the joy of capturing messy thoughts, emotions, and moments that make us human.
WHO I AM: Discovering My Character Through Creativity and Narrative Collage Workshop
Date: Wednesday, August 19th
Time: 6 - 8:30 PM EST
Location:
Fran Ryan Center, 865 E Capital St, Columbus, OH 43205
Duration: 2.5 hours
Pull on a thread and see where your character takes you.
In this tactile, exploratory session, you’ll build a junk journal page using scraps, textures, doodles, and a guided prompt, to create your character through a sensory process. Much like an archaeological dig, you’ll sift through fragments to reveal their world — making them real, dimensional, and deeply human. Watch them transform on your page.
Perfect for writers, artists, dreamers, and anyone curious about storytelling through visuals.
Come play. Come explore.
Come uncover the person you've been struggling to meet.

Meet The Founder
Sloppy Copy was born when Antricia Tran realized creativity feels most alive in messy, textured, imperfect moments. After years of journaling starts and stops, collecting scraps, and wrestling with perfectionism, she longed for real storytelling.
So she created questions and prompts to get out of her head.
With a deep love for narrative and visual expression, Antricia designed Story Prompt Cards and the Character Junk Journal — safe spaces to explore identity, build characters, and uncover the stories beneath the surface. Sloppy Copy is her tribute to honesty and creativity: tactile, soulful, and made for those who find magic in the mess.
