Stumbled upon today, Book is a project by 4 artists: Oliver Jeffers, Rory Jeffers, Mac Premo, and Duke Riley, who all contributed art to a sketchbook over a time period of 36 weeks. The unusual thing about this project is that, by the end, the sketchbook had travelled over 60,000 miles between Brooklyn and Belfast where the pairs of artists were based.
The book in itself is an eclectic mix of styles, with each artist reacting to the previous artists work, as they swapped who contributed to the book every Wednesday, allowing only 5 days of work before sending the sketchbook off again.

A nice small printing company which recently released its fourth series of prints, collaborating with Stuart Kolakovic, Jan Kruse and Lizzy Stewart. Its selection of prints, while limited, are impressive pieces as well ethically sound, with 10% of the profits for each edition going to the artist’s charity of choice.

The brainchild of David Hofmann, the “box doodle project” encourages people to create anything and everything from just a single piece of cardboard packaging, with the results being a myriad of different and wonderful experiences which stretch the boundaries of packaging beyond its limits.

I recently stumbled across “Could Be Me” an interesting project encompassing many artists. Quoting from the project, “Could Be Me is a project exploring possibility of one artist occupying another’s space. It is a visual adventure and an interpretation of the same sentence by different artists worldwide”.
