The last time when I participated in the Sketchbook Project<\/a>. organized by the friendly folks at Art House Co-op, it was 2009 (you can see my sketchbook here<\/a>). And right now as I’m typing this, they’ve recently opened up submissions for their 2012 Sketchbook Project (which is 100% community funded by the way) \u2013\u00a0which is akin to a concert for sketchbooks. They bring it around cross country in the USA<\/span>, scan them for you (for a small fee) and basically treat them like royalty \u2013 showing them off at whatever chance they get. Best of all, 2012 is the year where they’ll break international boundaries and will exhibit at places like London and Melbourne.<\/p>\n They’ve teamed up with Pikaland to offer YOU<\/span> \u2013 our lucky readers you \u2013 a chance to be a part of the Sketchbook Project.
