Roaming Art is a community art project birthed from the bouncing of ideas between photographer, Dan Schwartzman and myself. To summarize the project, it is essentially a chain letter sketchbook. A sketchbook is passed from artist to artist with each person adding a few pages of sketches, writings or whatever art they would like. As the books travel across the country they gather more and more ideas and styles.

Once a book is filled, there is a prepaid envelope secured to the back of the cover which will allow the book to return home. Once we receive the completed book we'll create digital, high res copies that will be distributed to everyone who participated for free!

But how will you know who participated and how to contact them?!
Via the website! [link] The books direct people to this website where they can sign in as Sketchers. All someone has to do is provide their name, email and locaction (so we can keep track of where the books have been). We'll email the digital copies to the Sketchers when they are ready.

The website [link] also hosts many other ways of being apart of the project. You can follow the books travel using the site's Sketchbook Map. The site's Blog will be updated with ideas for stuff to do in the book and ways to expand the Roaming Art project. You can also become a member of the site, which give access to posting questions, ideas or your art on the forums.

Ok this journal is getting long enough, so I'll save it for another time. If you'd like to learn more or be a part of the project check out the site, leave some feedback and spread the word. We have plans on releasing many more books as time goes on, so if you'd like to get one make it known over on the site and we'll try to get you in on the project!
