Preview: spread 51...

Paint and paper cuts. My hand hurts now. Definitely worth it though.

Round 9...

Another year into this project and I'm still ecstatic every time I get my sketchbook back in the mail. We just finished round 8, so I thought I'd post a little recap of the spreads.

Summer Update 2010...

Since our sketchbook seems to be resting in Orange County, I thought I'd bring you an update on the activities of some of our artists...
Chris will be showing at the Huntington Beach Art Walk 222 July 21, 2010, 6-9pm. New original screen prints from the "Nouveau Robotica" series will be available.
Matt has been on a mission to declare McRib sandwiches the new ambrosia.
Animation Duo, Eileen and Jeff stopped by Gallery 1988 LA's "Crazy 4 Cult 4" show opening night. This is a fantastic show that is open until July 30, 2010.
Cindy has also been frequenting art shows, most recently Brandi Milne's "My Heart Shall Not Fear" and Natalia Fabia's "Fashionable Aftertaste Without End", both at Corey Helford Gallery in Culver City.
Sorry for the delay. Hope to be posting new pages soon.
Have a fabulous summer!

one finds a fanciful perch
almost haiku ..."

Our New Project...

i love a new sketchbook. every artist has a weakness for art supplies. this one i'm going to share, because this sketchbook has caught a case of wanderlust...this sketchbook will be mailed from artist to artist. each artist has one week to complete a spread using one element from the previous spread as inspiration and mail it to the next artist.
i actually got the idea from here, must give credit to the originals. hopefully we'll have fun with our own...
