TAKE PART IN "GIVE CREATIVITY WINGS TO FLY" PROJECT!




I have launched a new project and like to invite all you portrait artist, regardless of skill level, to join in the fun. This invitation is open to every artist and you do not have to be a member of the forum to participate.

TAKE PART IN "GIVE CREATIVITY WINGS TO FLY" PROJECT!

This little sketchbook will be send all over the world with the request that the recipient use one or two pages to create or write s.th art related. It can be a doodle, a drawing, collage, artsy quote, a technique write up,etc..

Every time the book is mailed back to me (ca. 2.94 US postage), I will scan the image and it will become part of an ongoing slide show that will feature everyone's contribution. If the project is successful and the sketchbook not lost, I will have it published as a book.

While the book is traveling through the world, participants will have their names and blog or website links added under 'Project Participants' and your contribution along with a write up will be featured on my blog. Feel free to invite your friends to join in this project.

To participate leave me a comment under the following post at World Market Portraits.

If you are not a blogger but like to be part of this, leave a comment and sign in as Anonymous. Then send your Email address to [email protected], so I have a way to contact you. I will be going down the list and will notify each participant when their turn is up to receive the book.

That's wonderful! Thank you for participating Mary Ann!

It will be fun to see not only the variety of things people do with sketchbooks, but also how far it will travel.

I have added you and your web site address to the list and all you have to do is Email me at [email protected] with your email address and mailing address.

Updates of new sketchbook entries and participants can be viewed at the direct link Give Creativity Wings to Fly Project

The book has started it's journey!

Last night around 11pm I scrambled to get a sketch done so the book can start its journey to Georgia.

Here is my entry in the rough...

While surfing the net I came across Kevin Cornell's sketchbook and thought it might be fun for some of you to browse through. Isn't his web page just the coolest?!
