2012 SKETCHBOOK PROJECT

I have an excuse to write more stories! Not everything I say is true. Sometimes, I say things to provoke a situation that I have no idea where it may go. I call it verbal incontinence or turrets story syndrome. My friends and family know this. . . Now you do, too.

My mom says that I am the most honest person she has ever known. Think about that, will you.

The Topic for my sketchbook is: Fill Me With Stories.

Most of the shows I have been in galleries were narrative pieces

My work whether written or graphic visual mixed media always begin with a start from a story.

My problem is that sometimes my stories do not end or they could hurt someone. Those I cut up in strips and photograph them.

What I am trying to say here is that you can expect to see this process being worked on here. The deadline for the book is January 2012. It will be a very very interesting project for me.

The format of this moleskin notebook, if it is still Moleskin???

Is 5.25"W x 7.25" H

It can not be any thicker than one inch when complete.

The theme for my sketchbook is Fill Me With Stories.

It is suggested that this is a way to share how you work.

A Sketchbook is just that, not a finished piece of art, just a sketch.

This is a traveling show.

This will be included in the permanent collection at the

Brooklyn Art Library

You can still sign up until Oct. 31st, 2011 at

It will not be your property when you send it in.

It is not for sale.

So, here is the beginning of mine:

These are in flux, by that I mean that I am adding to these pages

writing notes on them and/or whatever else I will do to them.
