The International Sketchbook Project

Sign Up

To sign up for the project simply e-mail me your full name, the country you will be representing, actual address, and a phone number. I will not share any of this information with anybody. This information is to be used to create a shipping list. I would also like a link to your portfolio, blog or sharing account like Flickr. You will be added to this list for the next rotation.

Feel free to check out each other on the ISB Flickr page or Facebook group page. We also have YouTube channel. The purpose will be for artists to have a place to send in short videos of the place that they will be representing or at least a description of it. You can also show your artistic process. The You Tube video will be posted within 24 hours of receiving it.

Each illustrator is given 4 pages in the book (2 pages, front and back). The first page being a hand written introduction, the second, third and fourth pages will be used for the composition.

What do I do once the book arrives?

Contact us at thebsidedesign@gmail.com as soon as you receive the box.
Take a photo of yourself holding or next to the sketchbook package.
Take a photo of a small section of your illustration upon completion. We refer to this photo as a “teaser shot.”
Write a short background story to accompany the teaser shot.
Send the photos and short write-up to thebsidedesign@gmail.com to be posted to the ISB Project Flickr account. This will enable the map function to present participant image(s) and site locations.

I want you to illustrate something that is significant to your country or specific geographic location. This will give the other participants the opportunity to visually experience your part of the world.

The book will be digitally published to PDF and placed on a new website dedicated to the International sketchbook project for the world to see. We may seek other venues to show the book.
