“The Sketchbook Project Is A Traveling Library Of Artists’ books Created By Thousands Of People from Across The Globe.”
The company is based in Brooklyn, NY.
I decided my latest work, would be to do a sketchbook. The theme: “Capes, Masks and Tights”, focusing as you can see on “Tights.”
I have not even begun, but already the images of the lower half of figures in tights has woven its way into my thoughts.
Anyone can do a sketchbook, have it digitized and then let it travel around the country as part of a library. The idea for this was formed by some folks from Savannah College of Art and Design in Atlanta.
I find these origins appropriate for me, since I live in Atlanta, did postgraduate work at Atlanta College of Art (now Savannah College of Art and Design), grew up, in part, in the New York area. And exhibit my artwork in New York and Atlanta now.
The sketchbook is a great way for artists to get “unstuck.” To keep doing work. Get ideas flowing, and to enjoy the finished product.
I saw the first show in Atlanta and have to say, very impressive. I love the theme for this year and seems to be perfect for Hollis’ wonderful art work.

Thanks, Marjie! There’s a woman who is now leasing space on the same floor of the bldg where my studio is and she teaches figure drawing. I think I’ll take a class with her for accurate legs!!! 🙂
