GET READY ......SET.......DRAW


ouf.......... now that's out of the way . (I'm referring to deciding on a name for this blog)

I need to say how honored I am for all of you MEMBERS of
'the flying moleskins' to join me in this traveling painting adventure.

I have to explain myself a bit on the decision of starting this.
I noticed on my blog surfing time that there was sometimes mention of a sketchbook being passed around from artist to artist and was envious of their participation BUT wondered about who gets the book when finished.
That my friends is NOT something I can live with ( not wanting any serious ENVY in me )
So I decided what if we each had our own book ( O yea I can be happy with that ) would be great.
Since a year 1/2 ago a wonderful community of artist was formed from a now famous blog called Different Strokes From Different Folks created by Karin Jurick.
Well we commented, e-mailed, called and even visited each others during this time. I thought it quite normal to ask some of the original artist participating in DSFDF to join my little adventure.
So here we are 14 of us willing to draw, paint or whatever into each others moleskins.
I am so looking forward to this with you all.

LAUNCH DATE of mailing JANUARY 18

  3. Yes, I think that is one of the major benefits of this project is we get little pieces of each others hearts this way.
