Sketchbook Project: in Brooklyn!


Opening Reception.............Barnaby Whitfield with my book

The Sketchbook Project 2011 has begun. Thousands of books are on hand for perusal along a number of themes from artists around the world!

They will be in Brooklyn until the 27th and will then be on their way on an eight city tour over the spring and summer.

It's an interesting experience; you walk in, get a library card, then check out sketchbooks by artist or theme or just randomly. You get two at a time then return them and get more. I think half the experience is just walking around glancing over people's shoulders at the books being leafed through.

I've got some scans up for those who are geographically challenged.

For those in NYC, get out and see. It's free. And I get an email on my phone every time someone looks at my book!

"Imitation"? Aptly named

Tara Subkoff's collection 'Imitation' (formerly "of Christ" (now "of Zea")) in New York's Fall Ready to Wear 2011 certainly had some imitation alright. Those belts? I've got stuff published back in December of 2009 with that idea. This aggression will not stand *hairflip*

Judge for yourself:

Exhibit A:

Exhibit B:

eh? whaaaat? alriiiight.

The Sketchbook Project: Opening Reception!


The Sketchbook Project 2011 is about to begin!

The opening reception is February 19th noon to at the Brooklyn Art Library! They will be there on display through the 27th. The Library is located on 103A N 3rd in Williamsburg Brooklyn.

There will be thousands of sketchbooks available for leaf-through.

Mine can be found under the theme: It Will Be Fun, I Swear. I gold-leafed the cover for easy spotting.

The national tour will begin soon after. Check the side bar for more details.
