Sketchbook Project

Back in August of this year I signed up for the Sketchbook Project. For those of you who do not know what this is. It is a project designed by the Art House Co-op group and every year they distribute sketch books at the cost of $25 dollars each and you need to return your finished product by the Post marked deadline of Jan 15th, 2011.....but this is the fun part....then it goes on tour!

I haven't had much time or much of an urge to draw in the past few months, so I need to do a ton of drawings in a very short period of time.....phew.....but I will get it done.

Here is a link to Art House Co-op website,

Art House Co-op organizes interesting projects like the sketchbook project, a photo project and an empty pockets project....but this only really names a few things that they do.

I'm back

Yeesh! It has been a long time since I've posted on this blog. I plan on posting frequently and regularly from now on. To provide an excuse for my lack of blogging, I have been away at Graduate school for the past two years. It was a hectic time and blogging was sadly a low priority.

I would like to start with posting two things I find interesting.

1) comics (this is a link to an older article on classic comic books and great rummage sale finds)

http://www.walrusmagazine.com/blogs/2008/10/23/in-praise-of-university-book-sales/

2) Is a great article on art writing from fuse magazine ( on the topic of art writing and how it has become more important than the actual work, perhaps?)

Thanks for reading!

I will post again soon
