The thing with The Sketchbook Project, being run by the Brooklyn Art Library, is that you can keep it going on a back burner whilst you have other stuff going on, and head back to it every so often to doodle as the fancy takes you. And so it’s been with my sketchbook… I selected ‘Happy Thoughts’ as my theme and have enjoyed some completely random things popping into my brain and being able to scribble them down quickly into my book. It’s not going to be any great work of fine art, I’ve deliberately kept it to doodles, sketches and ideas rather than sat for hours struggling to create the next masterpiece but it’s going to be something very personal to me and a rather nice object when it’s complete which I hope someone else or in fact lots of someone elses, will smile over at some point when it goes on it’s whistle stop tour!

The project is now closed for artists but if you’re a keen doodler, or just have lots of happy thoughts….why not give it a go next time?
