Museum Sketchbook Art Memories




Above is a sample of my scans of my Elephant-themed Arthouse Museum Sketchbook submission. The actual book is housed at their Museum Library in Brooklyn. Before they closed in 2023, anyone could go and see that sketchbook there among other artists' submissions and the Museum would notify each artist that it has been viewed. Although that is no longer possible, I also have scanned samples of my sketchbook with comments at my Flickr site HERE.

I had since decided not to take part in any more sketchbook projects because, in doing so, I would forgo having control of the original art. Such projects and collaborations do not serve the best interests of artists, in my opinion, at best. At worst, they actually could exploit artists.
