Sketchbook Project




At the end of last year I signed up for the Sketchbook Project through Art House Co-op, an American arthouse company which co-ordinate lots of fun projects for anyone anywhere in the world to participate in. For the Sketchbook Project I had to fill a blank sketchbook with anything I wanted then post it back to the company - they take the sketchbooks on a 'travelling library tour' to different States in America. Once the 2013 tour ends my sketchbook will then reside in the archives at Brooklyn Library. I opted to get my sketchbook digitised so that I could share it online too.
You can view my sketchbook, titled 'Getting Lost' here.

Last month I signed up for another of their projects called 'Sunday Swap' where I had to compose a list of 50 tasks for a stranger somewhere else in the world to complete this year. In return I will receive a list of 50 things to do. I'm still awaiting my list and who knows what crazy tasks they may have set me! No doubt I will do an update about that on here at somepoint...

    I could spend a lot longer browsing through your sketchbook Vicky. I think it is a great achievement, even though you probably started as a fun project. I felt several pieces were very perceptive and I loved Haiku Two, also your drawings.That's what I call talent!
