International Twitter Art Exhibit

Spirit Long Postcard

by @CaseyStudio

This is my contribution to the Twitter Art Exhibit in Moss, Norway

The first ever International Twitter Art Exhibit postcard size event will be held in Moss, Norway on December 1, 2010 and will be on display for 2 months. This exhibit is the 'brain child' of fellow Twitter artist and friend @DavidSandumArt. The postcard art exhibit will benefit the Moss Children's Library.  A wall of cards will be displayed for people to enjoy. Each card will be labeled with the artist's Name, City, Country,  @TwitterName, and Title of Work. The cards will be sold for $34 (200 NOK) and all the sales will go to the children's library to buy books. I am honored to be part of this wonderful art event. Can you imagine 140 hand painted cards from artists all over the world covering  a huge wall? How splendid for the eye to see!

More details and a complete list of artists can be found HERE

11-13-2010 update for #twitterartexhibit: 

Great news! Punkt Ø -Momentum (Norwegian goverment art agency), has now agreed to be a partner in project and custom-construct the large white wall for the cards, which will be located at the library entrance. This will take two workers a full days work!

Art House Sketchbook Project

Art House Sketchbook Project 2009-2010

The Sketchbook Project Library sponsored by The Art House Gallery will house sketchbooks by artists from around the world. Visitors to the exhibit will receive library cards and be able to view the books at exhibitions around the country. The goal of the project is to create a giant collective of sketchbooks from around the globe and make it accessible to everyone. The Project was featured on CNN and the library will be touring across the country beginning on January 29, 2010 in Atlanta, GA. Please visit my Exhibition page to see the cities and dates of the tour. After the cities tour, the sketchbooks will go back to Brooklyn Art House Gallery for permanent library display in the gallery.

Rules: Each participating artist was given a moleskin sketchbook and a theme randomly chosen from 30 available themes. Artists were instructed to base their sketchbook around this theme. My theme was 'A Postcard'. Visit my Sketchbook Project page to see all 40 pages of my sketchbook interpretation. Page numbers and captions are below each image. I enjoyed this project beyond words. I used my imagination to create fantasy places, I drew my favorite places that I had visited over the years from memory, and I included beautiful areas from near my home in Carmel Valley. I loved doing this! Enjoy!
