THE SKETCHBOOK PROJECT





































I have been working on The SketchBook Project on and off for the last 3 months. This is a unique show of artist's sketchbooks provided by Art House Co-Op, affliated with Brooklyn Museum of Art, NYC. Check out sketchbookproject.com for more details. I thought I would post some of my pages. My assigned theme is: "I'm a Savenger". The pages are collaged bits and pieces from old magazines and snippets of items that I have saved. The sketchbook is autobiographical. The most astonishing aspect of the work is how closely my life story relates to the 1949/50 SECRETS magazine's "sensational" stories written for the ladies of the day. WOW!.......I guess I should have taken those stores seriously....could have saved myself alot of heartache!!!!

  2. yeah, these are great. it makes me miss the mass quantities of collage ingredients that i used to have....i've heard about that space. they do interesting projects, but it is a lot of time to commit for donating the work to them. i think they do smaller ones too, i'll have to check it out again.
