I came across something called The Sketchbook Project through a blog I follow. It sounded pretty neat: an international call for artists to participate by ordering a sketchbook, filling it with sketches based on one of the suggested themes, then returning it to be part of a touring exhibition and eventually catalogued at the Brooklyn Art Library. So, I ordered my book and I've started sketching. My theme is "in flight". It's intimidating to look at the wonderful sketchbooks of past years, then look at the blank pages in my book. At least, when I'm feeling cheeky, I'll be able to say I've shown in New York! Hee hee hee...
