Tracy and I both decided to participate in the
sketchbook project which may be touring in your town. We paid a fee and were sent a sketchbook to fill. We had to pick a theme from their list. Mine was "Things That Changed Other Things". Tracy's was "Dirigible & Submersibiles".
He printed out his journal pages from his regular journal and rebound them into the book. I added photocopies into mine....all 48 pages full. Anything was fair game according to the rules.
They had extended the deadline from jan. 15th to the 18th, which gave us the day that was needed to complete it. whew.
Can't wait to see the show when it hits seattle. This is the inside of
Tracy's.
Hurray! So glad you were able to get yours out. I hope that it comes back to Seattle whilst on tour. I got mine in too, just barely under the wire. :)

WOW!! How cool is that!! I hope it comes close to me. I would love to stand there and say, I know those two artist's:)
ReplyDeleteAny chance you'll reproduce copies of the sketchbooks?
ReplyDeleteYour journals look so rich and full of wonderful art. I do hope you show more photos for those of us that won't be able to see them in person.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on completing your sketchbook!! Your pages look absolutely beautiful!! I will look forward to seeing it in person when it visits Chicago. I signed up for the sketchbook project, but it didn't get completed :( Oh well...I still have it, so someday, it WILL be done!! Better late than never :)
ReplyDeleteOh so luscious and wonderful! I love that I got to see some of this wonderfulness at PLAY in real life! These wonderful photos do not do justice to how amazing they are in real life, the colors are even more rich and vibrant! Keep it up you wonderful supportive creative souls!
ReplyDeleteWarmly,
What a great project to be a part of! Thank you for sharing your beautiful artwork!
ReplyDeleteThe Sketchbook Project came to St. Louis a few years ago and it was fabulous. Be sure to allow *a lot* of time to view it. Like days, lol. Seriously, it was that cool as I feel sure you can imagine.
ReplyDeleteAnd yours (you & Tracy) - oh my oh my. They are gorgeous.
Such awesome sketchbooks, I am so glad you did this! I participated too and had a blast: my sketchbook. : ^ ) lenna
ReplyDeleteLove to see posts from you, Teesha. The Sketchbook Project is coming to my state in July. The venue is several hours away from where I live but I'm going to try and get there.
ReplyDeleteThe books look wonderful and full of your signature creativity! I hope I get to see the show...
ReplyDeleteI tried to start a collaborative journal once, but no one worked in it, and eventually I got it back, empty. :-( It's full of my own drawings, sketches, etc, now, but there was a time when I thought it might be collaborative. How does one get that going?
Teesha....I wish I'd known about this as I would love to have partiipated. Do you know how I can sign up for the next one?
ReplyDeleteWow...I'm always happy when I see your journal pages ;) I started mine early this year and I still had things to finish down to the wire...oui...deadlines are what motivate me. Wish I was going to be in Daytonna this year when they are there on tour but we're going in June this year instead of July. Guess I'll have to go to NY someday. So happy to be in the company of a true ArtJournal Queen (and King ;) Fondly, Roberta

ReplyDeleteWow! that looks sooo amazing!! AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteOh, they are wonderful, your collages. I love the way you work with the lettering in it :-)
ReplyDeleteTeesha, I also have a book in the Sketchbook Project and went to the opening in Brooklyn. It was amazing. There were 10,000 books all on shelved along the wall. I am glad I live close enough that I will be able to visit over and over when they are permanently installed in the Brooklyn Art Library
ReplyDeleteWhat style you guys have!
ReplyDeleteYou make me braver, just by doing what you do.

ReplyDeleteI love the back page of your book. What great free advertisement. And when someone checks out your book and falls in love with it they will fall in love with your blog too. OMG! You just gave me a great idea. I could print pages from my journal and blog about the time when my daughter had the brain tumor and bind it all together as a book and give to her on her next surgery anniversary. I have until next Feb. to get it all together. Thanks for the idea!
ReplyDeleteHi Teesha! I've followed your work for several years; it's always been exciting but now with the addition of black & white & even some earth tones, it seems to be evolving and getting better and better. Am so glad to have found out about The Sketchbook Project as I was reading your blog - I just sent off for mine for 2012. Congratulations on the addition of your studio downtown for teaching and play! I hope you will visit my sketch-journal blog sometime at http://artyology.wordpress.com.
