The Sketchbook Project 2011

This is just so cool... The Sketchbook Project 2011.  
Long story short, you choose a category, they send you a sketchbook, you fill it up and send it back.  Then it goes on tour all over the country and ends up in the Brooklyn Art Library.

I was sort of worried that I'd work my butt off then send all my artwork far away. I was also worried that I'd start this, get bored, and just half-ass it to get it done. But in the end when I learned that each book has a bar code on it and every time someone looks at your book you get a notice that it has been viewed, I decided to dedicate myself and not worry about sending it off all alone.  The nice thing is that I've been telling myself to do an "art a day" project to keep the creative stuff flowing. Here's a project to force me to sketch daily! If you don't want to spend the money and you would like to play along I'd love to see your creations!   I'll show you mine if you show me yours.

The project sets up categories. Here's what I had to choose from:


  •  
  •  
I chose "In 5 minutes...". I figure that will leave me open for all sorts of ideas.
