Brooklyn Sketchbook Book Project

I joined The Sketchbook Project, part of the Brooklyn Art Library's permanent collection of 40,000 artist sketchbooks from all over the world. You buy the book, they send it to you, you fill it with art then send it back. They have themes to choose from as a starting point and your book tours Northern America before becoming part of their permanent collection. I think it is a neat idea. You can visit www.brooklynartlibrary.com for further information.
