book. For thirty-six weeks, a sketchbook was sent in random order between four artists: two in Brooklyn, two in Belfast... [Flash]

Thanks, that was really cool. I liked the Oliver Jeffers stuff a lot.

This is rad. When I have some more time I'm going to go through these and read more of the commentaries.

*polite bow*

Thank you, Armitage Shanks.

It's a neat idea but I see many instances where it looks like the artists did whatever they wanted and ignored the goal of responding to previous work. Either that or I am too thick to make some of the leaps required.

Still cool even without continuity though..

Did you read (or listen to) any of the commentaries? I haven't been through them all yet, but they seem to explain what may be somewhat esoteric.

Thanks Armitage Shanks! Very cool! I love this sort of stuff. I wish I could see/touch the book! (reminds me a bit of Nick Bantock and Dan Eldon)

I think that the book as a whole is a nice piece. I'm excited that they are making prints available for purchase.
