The Brooklyn Sketchbook Project

Anyone can submit a sketchbook to the Brooklyn Sketchbook Project… you simply go online to Brooklyn Art Library to view the sketchbook project information

Visit their page and find out more about it. You can order your sketchbook (it has to be purchased from them to be included) and can even have it digitized. Each participant is sent the same 5×7″ blank sketchbook to complete and return, and it will become part of the worlds largest collection of sketchbooks. Each book will also spend some time in the traveling bookmobile project (WHAT in the ENTIRE WORLD is more fun than a bookmobile??? NOTHING, that’s what! Except POSSIBLY a sketchbook bookmobile??)

So I’ve spent the past couple of week’s madly trying to complete this sketchbook so it could be included in the next tour… only to find out two days after I finish it that due to covid-19, tours are temporarily cancelled. But… the deadline got me moving, so it’s all good.

I’m having trouble parting with this book! So I’ve posted a sketchbook tour on my NEW YOUTUBE CHANNEL (shameless plug… could you go subscribe pleeeeeease??? This would be a super-thrill for me and would make my day/week/month. I may actually even post more videos sometime!) (click the left hand title in the video below for a subscribe link. Maybe. I think.)

So what do you think? I love it!! Except the cover, which I rushed just to be done. But it’s good enough. It’s a good feeling to start and complete a sketchbook so quickly. Thank you for sharing in the fun with me!

Inktober 2020 Day 27: Music

This one… well, it took me a few days to decide on something to draw. And then when I finished it first I loved it. For like, 2 minutes… AND THEN, I HATED IT. The longer I looked at it, the more the flaws stood out. And it wasn’t AT ALL what I’d pictured in my head. So… version 1:

A little Ricky Ricardo-ish. I still love it… if only my glasses proportions had been right. Or at least right-ish.

Version 2:

Well. You be the judge. I’m giving up at two, for now. Anyway, this one was more fun. Still having glasses trouble. I guess I’m proportionally challenged today. And… that’s okay!!
