Once again Stumbleupon helped me to stumble upon something completely awesome. This is Book.
"For thirty-six weeks, a sketchbook was sent in random order between four artists: two in Brooklyn, two in Belfast.
Every Wednesday, one participant would receive book. In order to maintain schedule, it was sent out the following Monday, giving each artist five days to complete a spread in response to the one that preceded it.
A small portion of each entry extends on to the following page. Beyond this, there was no communication between the artists concerning the content of book during its making.
Book's first trip across the Atlantic was on 2 June, 2003. Its final trip was on 2 February, 2004. By the time it was completed, book had traveled over sixty thousand miles." www.lookatbook.com
So Collettestreasures and I have decided to do something similar to this. Our project is called The Nomadic Portfolio. We are looking for 8 more artists (US or international) to be a part of it. Each artist will keep the book for one week, then send it on to the next person. This is just for fun. Ive never done a collaboration before, so Im super excited about it. So if anyone is interested in being a part of this project with us, please check out the Nomadic Portfolio blog and let us know!
Do you ever stumble across an idea so awesome that it makes you mad because you didnt think of it yourself? I dont often, but a few days ago, thanks to Stumbleupon, I did.
Phat Knits: oversized thread, knitted or not, made into interior furnishings. In other words, GIANT plush knits that you can sit and lay on!!
I come across cool stuff online all the time. Most of the time it falls into one of two categories: 1. stuff I think is cool but have absolutely no desire to make myself. 2. stuff thats cool and I immediately see a way to alter it and make it my own. Phat Knits is neither of these, and thats what makes me so mad about it! Its so perfectly awesome, there is nothing I can do but sit in awe.
