Sketchbook: June

Sketchbook Project 2011: West Coast

I made a sketchbook for the Sketchbook Project 2011.
The sketchbooks have been on an eight city that started (and will end) in at the Brooklyn Art Library in February. There are sketchbooks from around the world made according to a handful of different themes, mine was It Will Be Fun, I Swear.

The books will be arriving on the west coast shortly. Seattle is the first stop.
June 10th - 12th the books will be on display at:
Form/Space Ateller
2407 1st Avenue
Seattle, WA 98121

Then, June 16th - 18th:
Madrone Studios
1417 15th St
San Francisco, CA

If you live in either of these fair cities, do go see. It's blast.

Ask for mine by name and I will get a little notification on my phone that you did and it will make my day.


For interested parties, they are currently gearing up for the 2012 edition. You can submit a sketchbook for next year's international tour.

For those outside those cities, check out the upcoming dates and check out my profile on the site. Soon the entire sketchbook will be scanned and available for viewing online.

March 5th - I finished my sketchbook. Filled. I started that one the day of my first invited audition with Cirque du Soleil in Chicago in early December of 2009. A day equally full of joy and heart-wrenching disappointment. A day blessed by a cascade of pigeon feathers from a feasting hawk. An event to be repeated in the summer the first time I ran through my first solo show in front of people in preparation for the show's premiere and my move back to New York City. A big year.

THE OUTGOING
Finished over coffee at my favorite neighborhood cafe with some shiny new markers I got a few days before...
A really great sketchbookfriend. Feel free to relive the magic.


THE INTERIM
A small book a carried for a few days between books. These prismacolor markers are so exciting...


THE NEW
Here, my new sketchbook is receiving its new armor. I love these type because it oscillates between white and beige pages. And its big enough to house my marker experiments. I've made a wax paper sleeve for the pages underneath so I won't mar things with bleedthrough. ...and so it begins...


SPEAKING OF SKETCHBOOKS...
Mine is in a truck with 10,000 others on the way to SXSW Saturday and Sunday. If you are in Austin for the festivities, check it out. Ask for mine by name. xx
