Anyone heard of this or taken part?
Art House is based in Brooklyn, NY and builds international art projects tie thousands of artists together –and anyone can participate.
Each artist is sent the same blank Moleskine sketchbook. We've only got two rules: first, the book must be used in some way - no sending us back an empty book or a completely different book! Second, the sketchbook must stay within its original dimensions (because we don't want to have to provide an extra suitcase just for your book while we're touring the country).
Each book will be given a barcode so we can easily catalog it into The Brooklyn Art Library system. Once we catalog it, artists will be able to track where on the tour their book is viewed and how many times someone pulled it from the shelf - we want to make sure you can stay connected with your sketchbook!
Seems like the online payment system is only allowing people with a US billing address to enter at the moment, while Art House sorts out they funds.
But got a friend to purchase mine and post it out to me. Should arrive in a few weeks.

2012 bump.
I was going to start a thread on this to see who had signed up for the 2012 project, but I see some of you did the 2011 so I thought I'd tag it on to this one.
Did anyone work on sketchbook Project 2012?
I did, you should be able to see the stuff I did here (if not I'm matt_fig21b):

I went with 'Grey Side of Life' as the selected theme and did it in a quite straight forward comic book journal route.
