Walter Logeman Art Project 2006-7
1,000 sketches might sound big, it does to me, but what I had not bargained on was the project, it is big. This month I have created a website, sampled and purchased software, explored printing, learnt about giclée, bought a printer, had dozens of conversations about art & the Internet, bought books, visited galleries, surfed the net to learn about art and had little sleep. Not because I am sketching!
The project has got me!

In The Beginning – Tiffany Thornley
Tiffany is a friend from the past – great to see her beautiful prints online – More here. Look forward to catching up again some time!
In the chatting about this project as it was born it was suggested I sell the links for a year, and then get a renewal. Immediately I thought, no, Forever! And that is the tag line promoting the links.
Significance:
All that we write in cyberspace is there forever. This project in particular has a forever flavour – paradoxically – because it will end! And then sit there like a … er, monument to… who knows what.
The quest for permanence in the prints, I have sought out the best I can find and they should last 100 years. “Longer than they will last in digital form”, I was told by the salesperson at Photo & Video. “Not if it is in the cloud.” I replied.
And I can’t help hearing that word, forever, as spoken in the Miranda July movie “You and me and everyone we know”, where incidentally I think it also has a reference to that persistence quality in cyberspace.

Not my sketches
The Technique of the Color Wood-cut Walter J. Phillips – An amazing “How-To” – funily enough it seems that even though I “paint” and so on and use that crappy little pen on the M200, I feel close to this print tradition, with its attention to craft. There is a craft in using the PC too! This doc from 1926 is a gem.

Here is an example of his work:
It seems that some prints & photos have a blind stamp. I like that idea. How does one get one?
Googled “Thousand Sketches” today and a post from Warner Crocker of Life on the Wicked Stage blog came up. Thanks Warner. I have been subbed to his blog since I had my Toshiba M200 Tablet PC. Warner is a thorough source of info about tablets – and many other things. Looks like he writes for GottaBeMobile.com site as well.

Took this yesterday. Just as I was thinking about Landscapes – this sky turns up! Happy to be there with my camera at that moment.
I will follow up some time with inspirations from Marilynn Webb.
How can I sketch this!
