The Sketchbook Project

Recently I discovered a pretty cool art initiative called the Sketchbook Project. It is an artist's cooperative from professional to just kids having fun from all over the world. You can go to the website to sign-up, where they send participants a Moleskin notebook. That is your parameter. Fill it however you are inspired, and send it back by mid January of 2011. All the sketchbooks then go on tour across the US, ending in the Brooklyn Art Museum.

All books have a barcode on the back, so people visiting the tour can "check out" sketchbooks. As a participating artist, I will get updates on where my book is and who has checked it out. Pretty fun!

My sketchbook arrived this past week and I am excited to get started! The hardest part is the beginning, making the first mark. But I need to get going, only 2.5 months to finish! This will be a fun challenge. :)
