Sketchbook Tour 2012


Daughter number one is safely deposited to her new digs.
Mom is still standing.
Sister is all ready asking when eldest is coming home.
Mom might falter a bit.

This weekend the Sketchbook Project tour comes to my neighborhood.
We are planning a little day trip to the L.A. Museum of Contemporary Art and then over to a place called Iam8bit on Sunset Avenue to view the books.
Here is the Facebook link to view more information.




I am SO excited to see the tour.
I need some inspiration in a big way.
I received my rather empty, rather full of stark white pages new Sketchbook.



Needless to say, it's a little daunting to begin a new book after completing my last one.
I'll have to decide on more of a theme for this one. "Sketchbook" is what I signed up for, thinking I would stretch myself with drawing more. 
Should be interesting. Maybe I'll get a new pen for the project. Nothing better than a brand new Micro pen....
or two, since they come in different colors.


Wait. 
I could go to the Dick Blick Art Store. 
 I LOOOVE that store. Plus, the only one I know of is where my eldest is.
I'll have to go tomorrow, as I have to get started on this new project.
Yeah, that's it....



Oh, all right...I don't think she is expecting a visit this soon from me, either.
 Looks like I will have to put on some good tunes, grab a bunch of paint and paper and dive in!
