last sketchbook and thoughts of today

Well my last sketchbook was done and sent off a few days ago now. It was with the theme " And Suddenly..." As I had little time I went ahead and did the last half of the book in colage form. with much use of glue and scissors :)


As for my thoughts. "One should not have to try to hard to chase after one's friends, true friends meet you and interact, you are not ignored by them or tolerated by them but enjoyed. One must abide by this and without looking back."

news and another sketchbook

Anyways I got a email from Climate Gallery saying the opening for "der Zeit of Drawing" went well. I am gonna try to see if my cousins up in NY can visit the gallery and see my work..kind of check everything out for me.....In other art news I finished my 3rd sketchbook for the sketchbook project "Past Present and Future"and will send it tomorrow. I also have to go to Ft.Worth to see the 9x12 show......

Scketchbook Project scetchbooks 1 and 2

These are some scans from two of the illustrated sketchbooks that I am doing for Art House Coops "Sketchbook Project" for their Brooklyn International Art Library, set to open in 2010.

The first one is "It's not easy being green" in which a kitten has developed a passion for "painting" , much to the dismay of her human who just wants her to stay clean! , hilarity ensues.
Note: I will be adding some color to this one, but I wanted to scan the drawings in first just in case.















The theme of this bottom one is "The Elephant in the Room", I explored the theme of elephants and did finally get a mini-story involving a circus elephant and a acrobat girl .

scketchbook 2

I signed up for another sketchbook and got "it's not easy being green" this time, as my theme. I want to have several sketchbooks submitted. It is so exciting!!!!

Also: I found another thing to get involved with. It is a UK based project called "Mail Me Art" and it focuses on mail art!!!!!! It is 6-8 months long and you send this gallery the art, each month a winner gets a prize, at the end there will be an exhibition of all the art, and a photobook published of it!!!!!!!

Scketchbook project

Well I got my sketchbook from Art House Coop and I am sooooooooooo excited. At first I was upset because my randomly generated theme was "ahhh! monster!" and ......you know? I know the disturbed directions that that can be taken.... So I email and asked for a new one. They were very obliging and told me they'd switched me to "elephant in the room" which is much more neutral and such. So I can work with this. I'm getting excited now. I used to whatch "Babar" alllll the time and I think maybe I will try doing a storybook of some sort. and using several mediums ( ink, paint , etc.) I'm also thinking of maybe getting another sketchbook, if that is allowed. being under 2 themes would be fun!!

here's a link to Art House Coop http://www.arthousecoop.com/

Did I mention the collection of sketchbooks will go on tour and also become part of a library?! :)
