The Sketchbook Project

A friend sent me a link for the The Sketchbook Project 2011 tour and here is a link to a video on CNN. It's sort of like a concert tour but for sketchbooks. Thousands of sketchbooks will be exhibited at galleries and museums as they make their way on tour across the country. If you are interested check out this link

More Urban Art- Ben Eine

I wanted to add another urban art image. This piece is by Eine and is located 1 block away from SDC Gallery on Rivington Street in London.
As an artist and graphic designer I appreciate artists who use type artistically. If you visit Eine's web site you will see he sells reproductions of his artwork.

Are you an artist or designer and do you want to sell your art? Do you have a web site? If you don't you should take a course in web design at Palm Beach State College.
