The SKETCHBOOK PROJECT

August 7th, 2012 by chocko


This year, Chocko participated in The Sketchbook Project, a global art project that involves drawing and doodling in sketchbooks and having your work exhibited across thousands of miles to different cities in North America and eventually finding its home to be displayed at the Brooklyn Art Library. Here are some samples from Chocko’s sketchbook and as you can see…you don’t have to be an artist or have a whole lotta talent to participate. If you have that creative itch, definitely take part in the 2013 Sketchbook Project and be a part of the traveling library of artist’s books. It only costs $25 to get a sketchbook mailed to your house. Pick a theme, draw and create and mail it back by the deadline. C’mon, Do It!


My sketchbook features drawings mostly done with pencil and ink, magic markers and watercolor paints. The clown drawing has a little aerosol paint sprayed on. The drawing of the dude eating piles of doughnuts was inspired by a drawing in the J DILLA album, Donuts. It was a lot of fun working on the project and Chocko definitely has to thank an alien from the Planet Geminian, Mary for the encouragement and push. Follow her on twitter and check out her blog to follow her crazy adventures. Take a peek at Mary’s Sketchbook for drawings of unicorns, snails and turtles!



The Brooklyn Art Library is a great place to check out thousands of sketchbooks in their ever evolving collection. You can also stop by this unique exhibition space for art supplies and unusual toys and books. A recommended spot if you’re wandering the streets of Williamsburg, NYC!
