Call me a squirrel...

In my previous entry I made reference to myself as a sketch monkey, so in this one, I am continuing the creature theme. I'm calling myself a squirrel because I'm gonna nutshell this Sketchbook Project concept for those of you who are not familiar with it yet.

So, in that aforementioned nutshell, the basic premise of this project is:

• The Sketchbook Project is organized by the Brooklyn Art Library
• You get a sketchbook with a barcode on it so it is trackable
• You sketch in it for 3 months and send it back
• It then goes around a national tour along with thousands of other sketchbooks
• Every time someone looks at yours, the barcode gets scanned and you get a message letting you know your book was viewed
• After the tour is done, the books go back to the art library to be a part of their collection, and in a way, a historical archive of what this sample of population was thinking about and creating in 2011.
  
• Anyone can participate by signing up before October 31, 2010 -the cost is $25.
  

Yeah, it's cool. You should sign up too!
