Original post spoiler'd:

Spoiler:

After many long years (about 3.5, actually), the fabled failure of a sketchbook is once again returned to my hands. It was a great feeling, to be reunited with this artifact of my past, when I was but an optimistic and trusting nave. This sketchbook was supposed to be sent around the country(Canada counts too) to acquire sketches and doodles from any willing members of our art community, to contribute to a compilation of sorts.

However, there were...speedbumps, and the book never made it past 3 or 4 entries. But that has not curbed my enthusiasm, as I still have this sketchbook what needs filling, and I'm still determined to take volunteers.

So would anybody be interested in taking on this endeavor? Rules are relatively simple: get the book, draw in the book, send it out to the next person in line. The order will also be organized via geographic location in order to save people money on postage.

Here's the more specific rules quoted from a post what seems like an eternity ago:

Anyways, here's my book's rules or whatever:
- On the Index page, write the next number in sequence, and then your name and/or forum name. You can include where you live if you want, preferably just what state or province.

-Write your number on the top left-hand corner of any page you choose to draw on. Your number is the number you wrote your name next to on the index page. Also, you can go ahead and sign your work at the bottom of the page if you want to.

-Feel free to use the back of any page you draw on, I don't care, just make sure to keep everything in order by artist and number.

-Any medium is fine, keep in mind it it just normal sketchbook paper. Just make sure that you are considerate of another's artwork. So no using thick markers if you're just going to bleed through like 5 pages.

-It's fine if you have a friend that wants to join in on the fun and contribute some sketches/doodles, just have him/her sign in on the index page and they can go right ahead.

-Don't be a dick.

-Go ahead and add a sticker or decal to the front or back cover if you have any that you would like to contribute, preferably anything that says where your from.

Let's try to keep track of where this thing is, exactly, like someone make a post when they send it out and the recipient should make a post when they receive it to make sure it reached it's destination intact.

If anyone is still interested after all that, I guess I can start taking PM's with your addresses. Please refrain from posting any sensitive information in this thread. Also, your information will only be given to the person before you in line so that they may ship it to you.

Here's some scans of the work that's already in it. It's super embarrassing to show how shitty my drawing was, but now I can show how much I've improved before sending it out again!

Me(Siegfried), West Chester, Ohio


Ian Douglass, Indiana


Matt Adams, Cincinnati, Ohio




Bogdan Yavorenko, Warren, Michigan




Eric Dagley, Bloomington, Indiana


Lexxy Douglass, Carmel, Indiana/Savanna, Georgia


Matt Hayes, Cincinnati, Ohio

Flay

Count me in.

tynic

so is this still gonna be a US-only thing? I know we had one like ... five years ago? which also got lost, and that was international - anyway basically if Flay is in then I am in.

Also I call shenanigans on 3.5 years. Lexxy's put homestuck stuff in there!

Siegfried

The Fug stuff and Lexxy stuff was just added like last weekend. Fug had it since late 2007 and hadn't put anything in it until then.

Also the last entry was a friend of mines, added last week as well.

EDIT: I don't have a problem with it being international, the original thread had some Canucks on the schedule but it never made the rounds. I forgot we had some Aussies on the boards, what would shipping cost for that? I'd love to get everyone in on it as possible, but we'll see based on who wants to participate and what's actually feasible.

Flay

Oh, I assumed it was an international thing. If there's a chance of it getting lost I can see how that would really suck, but if this does turn out to be international, I guess you count me in then.

Metalbourne

Count me in, and I'll even volunteer to send it out of the states.

I know that costs a little more.

DeeLock

I would love to do this!

Vargas Prime

I would be down for this.

Your dedication to the cause is admirable, Sieg

Molybdenum

IN.

Siegfried

It's great to see so many people interested already! I've got a great feeling about this. I think I'll keep the "registration" open throughout the event, but to be fair I'll lock the schedule/order in by the end of this month. What that means if its headed to the East Coast, then Canada, then California, and you decide you want to join in from New York after it has already made it through your area, then you're gonna have to wait until it makes the trip back. Just as a courtesy to not make others wait longer than expected.

I've got final crits coming up on the 15th and I start work on the 29th, so sending this out around the beginning of April should work out nicely.

Moly/Cilantro you're going to be in Cincy next quarter right? I'm going to be in Columbus but I can get it to you early on in the quarter so you can draw in it before we send it out of state.

Molybdenum

Aye, I'll be back for the start of Spring quarter.

Alternatively, send it to me while i'm still here in Pasadena and I will drive it back to OH on a four-day nationwide tour

earthwormadam

Wow nice stuffs so far, count me in as one of the east coasters.

ninjai

Huzzah! I want to play!

Also, fug that sketch = so awesome.

melting_doll

mememememe!

Phthano

I will do it! This sounds great.

tynic

I'm in europe - any of the brits want to play? Is spex still around?

NibCrom

I would like to be a part of this if you will have me.

Dances With Magpies

This sounds fun, I'd love to contribute!

edit: What will you do with the book once its finished?

earthwormadam

Put it in a time capsule and launch it into space of course!

Siegfried

The time capsule idea is cooler than what I really intend to do with it. I intend to take a lot of pictures and make a lot of scans of it and compile it into a neat booklet that I could send out to everyone who contributed so they could print copies of it themselves at like kinkos or something

Then I would sleep with it every night and cherish it forever.

Unless somebody has any better ideas.

Phthano

Siegfried: I like that idea.

JABMonkey

This is spectacular! I would like to join in.

NakedZergling

how do i get in on this?

brokecracker

I am in if you will have me. Sending a PM now.

P.S. I love this.

Siegfried

Some people have already PM'd me their address. Just go ahead and do that if you want to get in on it still.

Once again I'll make the list at the end of the month, so we've still got awhile to go before it heads anywheres.

NibCrom

PM sent.

tapeslinger

oh hey, can one sign up for this even if we are sort of new to the subforum? I can promise that I at least kind of don't-suck at arting but haven't got anything up for crits atm.

Siegfried

Alrighty duders and duder-ettes, this thing will be kicking off in two weeks, so I gotta make sure shit gets done.

Unfortunately I'm scrambling around trying to find a place to live for next week so until that gets squared away I won't be able to make a list or get everything organized.

One thing I do need is for everyone to send me their address. I only have like 4 of yours and obviously i need more.

Phthano

I hope you find a place to live.

If no other options present themselves, you can live inside your mother's skull.

melting_doll

I sent mine, did you get it?

Siegfried

Since the forums have been wonky lately I haven't been able to access them on a regular basis, so it has hampered my progress with the list and all. But I will have the tentative list made by tonight and let everyone know whats up.

Phthano

Hooray!

Mes3

Too late to get in on this?

Siegfried

Naw go ahead and send me your info. That goes for anyone still interested.

Siegfried

Hey peoples I went through and made a list of everyone that sent me addresses and those that still need to but showed interest, and made a preliminary list based on those already confirmed.

The "confirmed" people order so far looks like this:
Molybdenum
JABmonkey
Nanaki
tapeslinger
meltingdoll
(possibly back to me to scan after that takes care of East Coasters)
Nibcrom
Phthano
Dances with Magpies
Dee Lock

I sent PM's to those that have yet to send me their address, but once they do I can insert them into that list where appropriate.

I have also decided to make the run around the U.S. for now, then when everyone gets taken care of stateside they can send it back to me and I'll scan everything and make an update, then wrap it up with the international peoples. So Flay and tynic will be waiting for awhile before they can participate, but I am totally down to send it overseas and get everyone involved as possible.

flowerhoney

Is it too late to be the last one onto the wagon?

D=

m3nace

Wait wait! Alright I hope I can get on it too. I'm international, I'll send you a pm!

Rankenphile

I'm in

NibCrom

Siegfried, you're cool for organizing this.

Molybdenum

disregard this post and all of the silly things formerly herein

I may attempt some sort of bond-esque stealth snatching of the book, but you ordinary non-first-receivers-of-books need not concern yourselves

Vargas Prime

I am still in and have PM'ed Sieg accordingly.
