Now Seen in Brooklyn

Remember my sketchbook, You Are Me?  The exhibit/library of over 1000 sketchbooks with 30 assigned themes will be seen starting this month.  The closest it will come to me is Chicago or St Louis, neither of which is actually "near" me.  Here is the schedule.



Go to this blog here to see pictures of all the sketchbooks arriving.  And go here to see an article in the New York Times featuring four of the other artists.  Seeing some of the other themes, maybe "You Are Me" wasn't so bad after all.  Although the theme of  "And Suddenly...." sounds intriguing too!

I'm still perturbed that I can't show the video of my book.  Some kind of error message about the wrong codec.  I have researched that extensively, but only get more confused.  Even the Microsoft website does not give any helpful information except to be cautious of downloading codecs to use.  Whatever.

This is a sign that you need to come to Chicago! And this is an invitation to stay with me! Bring Gaye, and the sock monkey, and we'll do the town.

Sounds Great to me. I'm so ready for a roadtrip I can't stand it.

OMG! I just took a look at the books coming in---I can only imagine what it feels like to sit in the middle of all those handmade books...To touch, read, pet. Sheer Heaven! I would love to see the exhibit.

It's official. You're famous. Wow. Amazing books. Yum. I agree with Gaye. Let's just go sit in the middle of them and study them. Any chance this exhibit is coming to Anchorage?!

Yes, wonderful. Just looked at the photos of the books in the bins. Let's devise a plan so people will send us books that we can put in bins.
