UPDATE 2 The theme!
____________________________________

theme

Your idea of paradise

Thanks to Neuroplastcicty

I was playing around with the idea of everyone doing 2-3 sketches of what they consider paradise. Not so much the tropical island, but like one for me would be playing mario cart double dash with the Foo fighters live cd playing with my friends and Jagermeister. Odd, I know, but it was my Zen garden in art school.

____________________________________

UPDATE 3 The sketchbook guidlines
____________________________________

1 page mandatory, up to 3 optional

The back of the page free for the artist to write on, That way we will avoid ink going through and whatnot.

Thanks to Neuroplastcicty and Goldendust for that.

So about 30 days ago applesforjonah suggested doing a traveling sketchbook project where a sketchbook is bought by one person, drawn in the sent off to the next person and so on until its completed.

there was intial interest in the project but nothing really happened, I'm really interested in the idea so I was thinking that I'd take charge and get the project moving a long.

So the email address is runawaysketchbook@googlemail.com

I need people to send me:

in the subject type your user name and the body

Full name
user name
Address (including country)
If their willing to buy the sketchbook
and if their willing to ship internationally

for the questions a yes or a no is enough

I'm already in. I think small groups with individual sketchbooks might work better. Say 5-10. Maybe those groups would be of people that live relitively close to eachother so shipping costs aren't outragous. Each person should have it for a shot time, like you said. Each person should scan the book just incase it's lost.

trishxtrash on Dec 02 '09 at 7:56pm

a small sketchbook will be cheaper to ship so maybe have a limit of 2 pages per person.

Neuroplastcicty on Dec 02 '09 at 8:00pm

media mail in the US gets you just about any where in the US for under three dollars.

stubby43 on Dec 02 '09 at 8:02pm

Well I've run a similar project to this one before and a route of five people proved to be the optimum amount, after that cameras (the things we were posting) just got lost.

stubby43 on Dec 02 '09 at 8:04pm

Thanks for the tip neuroplastcicty.

P.s to those of you that have signed up so far, any chance you could re send the email? with your username in the subject, plus the subject?

Sorry my bad, but it will help with the organising.

trishxtrash on Dec 02 '09 at 8:36pm

Resent. For a theme...

Neuroplastcicty had a good one in the other blog - your idea of paradise.

I'll think of something and come back here. My mind just went blank.

Roostersauce on Dec 02 '09 at 9:19pm

I think everyone should have 1 page.

We can get a book with bigger pages if that's an issue for some people.

Roostersauce on Dec 02 '09 at 9:22pm

So taking into account my unsurness about where I'll be while this is going on. I'll be more than happy to buy the sketchbook and get it rolling

trishxtrash on Dec 03 '09 at 4:42pm

I'd also be happy to buy a book and get this started for a group of people. I just need to know who it's going to and what kind of book I should buy. What do you guys think?

stubby43 on Dec 03 '09 at 6:12pm

Sorry I've been at work all day, so far its 5 people taking part (including me, although I have little artistic ability) which is just about enough for one route.

So I think roostersauce (sorry man I am terrible with names at the best of times and its been a long day) should buy the book and get it started.

As for the idea of putting in the list of of address's I'm not that keen on it, I kind of want to avoid giving out personal information as much as possible, but I think everyone should sign the sketch, with their real name and user name.

I'm not all that sure about the theme, its up to you guys, I'm not all that interested in taking part in the actual art work (like I said my ability level is extremely low) but if you guys want to tackle a story then thats up to you.

But I'd suggest picking a simple theme that everyone will be able to interpt differently.

Like amibtion, or memories.

going on personal experience running a similar project, going past five people is a big no no because the books just disapear

I really like Neuroplastcicty suggestion.

Neuroplastcicty on Dec 03 '09 at 8:08pm

Stubby, I think you should add something. I don't think of this as a gallery of great artist, but artwork by a community. Plus with art, its more about the idea not the style, I've been to enough exhibitions to know that this is a fact.

applesforjonah on Dec 03 '09 at 11:12pm

I'm in, too. I even set up a the email threadlesssketchbook at gmail dot com for it also. I was planning on starting it back up next week after my finals, but you're beating me to it :)

iPear on Dec 03 '09 at 11:36pm

I'll do it.

Goldendust on Dec 03 '09 at 11:58pm

How about 1 page each, with the back of the page free for the artist to write on? That way we will avoid ink going through and whatnot.

I am so damn keen for this.

My friends and I managed to get a travelling notebook posted around about 12 times... all over the country. And now it's safely tucked away.

sleepyfeet on Dec 04 '09 at 12:06am

oh man i want to participate but it depends when this will start/end just because of winter break and school. any inklings?

Roostersauce on Dec 04 '09 at 1:04am

"How about 1 page each, with the back of the page free for the artist to write on? That way we will avoid ink going through and whatnot."

That's a sweet idea.

I'm not too keen on a plot or anything either. Likewise I wouldn't call myself a trained artists per say, I enjoy drawing though.

Ok what kind of sketchbook do we all want to work with?

Roostersauce on Dec 04 '09 at 1:04am

Is big pages a given?

midi-chlorinated on Dec 04 '09 at 1:20am

Sounds really fun

sleepyfeet on Dec 04 '09 at 1:31am

should be big pages that are somewhat thick so that the pages don't warp with paints, glues, and the like.

Neuroplastcicty on Dec 04 '09 at 6:12am

if we are limiting this to 5-10 people, there should be more then enough pages if someone wanted to do more then one.

But I don't think we should force people to do more then one page if they don't want to.

So... 1 page mandatory, up to 3 optional?

stubby43 on Dec 04 '09 at 8:35am

applesforjonah on Dec 03 '09 at 11:12pm I'm in, too. I even set up a the email threadlesssketchbook at gmail dot com for it also. I was planning on starting it back up next week after my finals, but you're beating me to it :)

Sorry man for completely stealing your thunder, its just I have a lot of free time and I've been looking for a new project to sink my teeth into but if you want to help with the organisation I'm sure they'll be something you could do.

--------------------------------------

On that note applesforjonah, iPear, jeffreyg, Roostersauce, midi-chlorinated and sleepyfeet I really need you guys to email me with your details so I can start organising routes.

sleepyfeet on Dec 04 '09 at 12:06am

oh man i want to participate but it depends when this will start/end just because of winter break and school. any inklings?

I'd really like to get it going within the next few days, the quicker it starts the better.

--------------------------------------------------

As for the sketchbook, big pages would be better but just remember that the bigger the sketchbook is the more expensive the postage is.

You should also buy a sketchbook with paper that�s suitable for water colours.

radiostaticstar on Dec 04 '09 at 9:35am

oooh oooh oooh!

i'd like to be a part of this if it isn't too late!

let's just hope no one drops the ball like the previous attempts at the traveling camera project!

i'd still like to get my hands on that stinkin' camera!

stubby43 on Dec 04 '09 at 9:41am

Nope its not too late at all, the more people that take part the better.

As for the last attempt at the traveling camera project, yeah its partly my fault because I couldnt commit to organising it compeletely (plus I lost the entire database of people taking part cause my hard drive crapped out).

P.S you should probably keep a look out for updates early next year.

mismonaut on Dec 04 '09 at 9:41am

I'm in; I'll email you today (poke me if I forget).

stubby43 on Dec 04 '09 at 9:48am

Will do!

Krakaboom on Dec 04 '09 at 9:57am

So what happens to the finished sketchbook?

radiostaticstar on Dec 04 '09 at 9:57am

cool, i'll email here in a bit.

aw well, i wouldn't sweat it, it sucks about yr hard drive tho.

all that was really needed, was for the camera to be mailed on.

are you thinking of attempting another go with the traveling camera?

if so, i'm in.

not a single round i've been in both times were ever finished, i'd like to see that change.

Johnny Baboon on Dec 04 '09 at 9:59am

sounds like a cool idea. i want in if there's still room.

stubby43 on Dec 04 '09 at 10:18am

Krakaboom on Dec 04 '09 at 9:57am So what happens to the finished sketchbook?

Well the sketchbook will go back to me and I'll upload them onto a website, I was also thinking, if anyone was interested that I might print some of the best work and put them up for sale.

Thats just an idea though.

---------------------------

Johnny Baboon on Dec 04 '09 at 9:59am sounds like a cool idea. i want in if there's still room.

Yeah man just go a head and sign up, I'd really like to have books going constantly so the more people the better.

Neuroplastcicty on Dec 04 '09 at 10:30am

should we think of a 2nd theme for a different book, or keep the same?

Lonkiponk on Dec 04 '09 at 10:44am

I sent a mail yesterday. did it arrive?

stubby43 on Dec 04 '09 at 10:55am

yeah sorry lonkiponk, I just havent had time to email everyone back, I was sort of waiting for more people to sign up so I could work out what we were doing.

I'll send an email update out tommorow.

Also I promise to learn everyones names soon.

Neuroplastcicty, I have no idea maybe once I've set up the routes you guys could debate the theme for a project in a blog/through email? then it would be a supprise.

Lonkiponk on Dec 04 '09 at 11:07am

it's oke,

I was just unsure if i sent it to the right email.

radiostaticstar on Dec 04 '09 at 11:08am

sent!

trishxtrash on Dec 04 '09 at 12:56pm

Phil if you need any help with the organizing at all just send me an email trishbastone@hotmail.com

I've got butt loads of free time.

stubby43 on Dec 04 '09 at 6:20pm

cool beans.

Sorry I'm really tired right now (long day at work), I'll try and get more stuff done on this tommorow.

p.s I'm still looking for people to sign up, I also need the details from those listed above, if you dont send the email your not in the project.

Goldendust on Dec 04 '09 at 10:42pm

Socool. This is gonna be brilliant.

stubby43 on Dec 05 '09 at 5:57am

Morning/almost afternoon bump.

Sorry I didnt wake up in time to actually do something, I promise I'll get on this after work (by that I mean email people to tell them whats going on and start looking at possible routes).

trishxtrash on Dec 05 '09 at 10:00am

Bump!

stubby43 on Dec 05 '09 at 4:03pm

please get in touch guys

Roostersauce on Dec 05 '09 at 6:13pm

Email(s) sent

stubby43 on Dec 05 '09 at 6:38pm

Than you and sorry guys its late and I'have had a long week, I promise I'll get the email out in the morning.

Micah, go a head and buy a sketchbook, just dont get anything too big because it will raise the price of the postage.

Oh and it would be better if the paper was good quality, I'd imagine some people might want to use water colours (I've no idea).

cheers everyone.

Roostersauce on Dec 06 '09 at 4:32pm

Ok. Just a heads up though I won't be able to start this for a few more days. I'm done with all my finals Tuesday. So I'll most likely buy a sketch book then and start my page.

stubby43 on Dec 06 '09 at 4:50pm

Thats fine mate dont worry.

iPear on Dec 06 '09 at 5:13pm

what kind of sketchbook will we be using?

martiandrivein on Dec 06 '09 at 5:17pm

sent

stubby43 on Dec 06 '09 at 5:17pm

To be honest I really dont know anything about sketchbooks, does anyone have any purchasing advice?

I'm guessing one where you can use water colours if you want them?

iPear on Dec 06 '09 at 5:19pm

I was asking because I think it would cool to just load up a moleskine. like a sketchbook type one, they're pretty good with watercolors.

stubby43 on Dec 06 '09 at 6:55pm

Ok cool, well I'll send that update out in a minute to the sketchbook buyers.

I've got one route done tonight, but its late and I've been making stupid mistakes emailing people with the details so I'm calling it quits tonight (plus we still dont know what the theme is for the second route)

If you havent recieved an email that means your in the second route, i'll get back in touch in the morning.

Sorry

Thanks Phil.
