Sketchbook Project (Art House Coop)

I've been busy lately :)

I'm still in the midst of finishing Tree #6 but I've also been creating at least a "sketch" per day for the Art House Co-op Sketchbook Library Project. I love what they are doing and I love that I'm part of a collective of people from around the globe. I love looking through the submission photos and seeing what everyone is doing.

How it works:
Anyone can sign up to participate. For a small fee ($17 I think?) you get a moleskin sketchbook and a randomly chosen theme (1 of 30 previously created by Art House). Mine is "And suddenly...". Then you simply fill up your sketchbook how ever you want and send it back in by the deadline (I think it's in March 2010).

The Co-op take all the sketchbooks on a mini tour for shows in multiple U.S. locations before settling back into their permanent location in Brooklyn, NY. There will be a library created for them where visitors can "sign out" the books (all the sketchbooks come to you with a bar code and library card) while visiting.

Pretty cool.
