This past weekend I went to Full Sail to check out the Sketchbook Project Tour. You basically register to be apart of the project, pick a theme, and then you just create. Simple, right? =)

“The Sketchbook Project creates a space to share your process with the world.”

As a viewer, you can just pick a theme (or country) and then they gave you 2 sketchbooks at a time with those guidelines. You can return & check out as many sketchbooks as you want.

I don’t know what I really expected before I went but I was actually really inspired (so much so that I think I’m going to participate in the 2012 tour). Those sketchbooks are such an intimate part of someone if you really think about it. You have the opportunity to see their train of thought & their ideas all bound in a tiny little sketchbook. So cool to me.

Anyway, I took some snapshots of some of my favorites & I wanted to share. =) Enjoy!

Kathleen Deep – Theme: Sleepless

Tracy Loughlin (Austrailia) – Theme: First Thing in the Morning, Last Thing at Night

Minchaya Chayosumrit (Thailand)- Can’t remember the theme, sorry!

Overall, it was an unexpectedly inspiring day. In fact, we went to Sam Flax afterwards & stocked up on some acrylic goodies and I spent the rest of the day painting. =)
