Traveling Sketchbook #41

My good friend for 13 years, Molly Bailey, handed me Traveling Sketchbook #41 yesterday. It left its 49 sketchbook friends and started its tour of Utah almost a week ago. I added a picture, wrote on the fore edge and gave my comment about this thing called 'art'.

You can check out more about the project and Sketchbook #41 on the Traveling Sketchbook website. If you get handed a copy, send me the pic and I'll post it here!

Way To Go!

The Gallery One Ten is having a visual arts show on transportation. It sounds really great and it open today. The show will run until February 12, and then the show will be taken over by the Temporary Museum of Permanent Change, which is HUGE!

My submission is a 30x40" watercolor and ink illustration, showing how various important people from around the world traveled. Hopefully it shows how these people did what they did in large part because of how they travelled.

Woody Guthrie, for example: Woody rode ontop of and inside trains. This allowed him to travel all across America and learn songs from other people. Get to know their lifestyles. He wrote the song, "This Land Was Made For You and Me", and who better to write it than someone who really experienced the people living all across America?
