The Ng Sketchbook Tour

[Luis]

This was an idea proposed by my british counterpart Joe Outterside who never got the initiative to start it off so I have decided to do it. Heres the idea:

I have a sketchbook that i want to devote one page to an artist. Its your job to fill that page with art that represents you.

So, I have the sketchbook set to tour the country starting June 15th. It will have a limited set of tourstops.

Starting June 1st I'll send out pieces of paper from the sketchbook to remote artists whom i cant get the actual book to. Most of this applies to artists outside the US.
This will obviously take a good while to complete but when it does itll find its home in the ng building.

To be part of it post your city and name.. ill collect addresses myself later and privately.

Sounds awesome, I'd be interested.

I live in Indianapolis IN.

That sounds awesome but what are you planning to do about people who might steal or try to ruin the book?

lol. I was only kidding around. Good luck with all this.

Pulling out my best ink and brushes for this!
Excited!

This sounds great, and I'd love to be allowed to do a page, but I'm not 100% sure where I'll be living over the next couple of months, I won't be settled anyplace (Geneva, New York, most probably) till mid July at least.

I do hope it works out nicely for everyone. =)

Sounds good, but what if someone thinks it would be funny to burn it and destroy everyone's work? Seeing as this is a forum, there's loads of idiots that might find it funny to do that.

[TommyGun]

Wouldn't it be easier if you told us what type of book it is, we all buy one, do art then send to you?

It would but you miss the point and i like to do things the complicated way anyway.

What happens if someone, that you trust, runs away or keeps the book to himself?

[NegativeONE]

You do most of your thinking in a drunken stupor, don't you?

I just ran out of toilet paper, so i think I wanna take part in this adventure...no, not really...
I'm pretty sure tho, that a lot of participants will send you back some of their sea-men from their ding-dong...

Wow cool i'd like too.

How much does it cost (about) to send to the US from England and Vica Versa? You should also do something official to the pages, like have a mock up NG stamp printed on each page.

Not sure how much it'll cost.. cant be that much though im only sending the paper to everyone.
It'll be official pages because they are brown and thick.. anyways i wasnt able to find this exact sketchbook so for now theres only 48 pages to send out.

What i will do is first send out all 48 pages.. as people return them ill start putting it together and then because you can be trusted to return pages, ill try and send out the sketchbook itself to as many places as i can so you can sign the cover as a final piece to the project.. itll be all graffiti like and cool with everyone inside the books signaturez.
What do you guys think?
