I just finished up my most recent Moleskine sketchbook. This is my last page.
This Bic pen drawing does a good job visually illustrating my life at the moment. Busy, crazy, overwhelmed are some common words in my vocabulary as of late. (More about this in the weeks to come!)
Now that I've finished up my Moleskine, I can get started on my The Sketchbook Project sketchbook that I received in the mail this weekend.
The sketchbook has 32 pages that measure 5.25" x 7.25". It's a little larger than I'm used to, as my Molskines are just 3.5" x 5.5". I should soon have more time on my hands, so I'm sure I'll be able to adapt to the larger size.
When signing up for The Sketchbook Project, you choose from one of 30 or so themes as a jumping off point for your sketches. I chose "Along the line". Seemed pretty apropos for me and my very linear, often maze like doodles.
I have until Jan 31, 2012 to complete the sketchbook and mail it back to the Art House Coop. As noted on The Sketchbook Project website:
- "It's like a concert tour, but with sketchbooks. Thousands of sketchbooks will be exhibited at galleries and museums as they make their way on tour across the world. After the tour, all sketchbooks will enter into the permanent collection of The Brooklyn Art Library, where they will be barcoded and available for the public to view."
I will be chronicling my progress in my sketchbook here on my blog and on my Flickr photostream. Be sure to harass me if you don't see me posting!
Happy Columbus Day. Ta-Ta for now!
