A nameless black notebook carried throughout the world recording the thoughts, stories, sketches and ideas that would become the writings and art cherished today. Now, Moleskine artwork can be found throughout the digital world and fuses many mediums together - watching the progression of this paper bound book move into the virtual realm is quite intriguing.
The Sketchbook Project is the newest chapter in this legacy. A tour of thousands of sketchbooks created by anyone, anywhere in the world will go across the US on an exhibition in museums and galleries. After the tour the books will make their final stop in a permanent collection at the Brooklyn Art Library where they will be available for public view. Artists can track where their sketchbook is and how many times its been pulled off the shelf. They can also have the entire book digitized to flip through online and have it viewed internationally.
Artists must order their Moleskine by October 31st '10 and choose a theme. Check out the site for details.
