The Sketchbook Project 2011

I can’t believe I did this..:

I am CRAZY ! I don’t know what emotion takes over the most: fear (of not doing in on time, of not being worthy, of wasting money and time…) or excitement (it’s a huge project !) ?!

Do you know about this ?

What it is about:
Art House co-op organizes this International project.

• You chose one of the several themes available (I had a hard time deciding but went for “Figuring You Out“). You can do what you want but it’s the red string in your sketchbook. You can decorate the cover, and everything you want as long as you don’t change the size for something too big, and you don’t use a lot of glitters. I love the fact that the themes can be interpreted in such a lot of ways, but it scares me as well.
• You chose the kind of Moleskine you want
• You have two more options available (for an extended cost): digitalize => they will digitalize your sketchbook for you so it will also be available online, I chose this option; you can decide after but it will cost twice the price; add a poster.

You check it out, enter your information and it’s done ! You receive an email of confirmation and then you’ll receive an email notification when your sketchbook has been sent. And voilà !

You have until January 15th 2011 to send your sketchbook back. Then, it will be part of this huuuuuuuuuge project, will tour the US and be part of the exhibition in Brooklyn where people will be able to see it, touch it etc.

What I like is that you have the possibility to know exactly where your sketchbook is, how many people touched it etc. Love love love !
