The Sketchbook Project 2013
March 1st, 2013 by chocko
Chocko has done it again…managed to last minute doodle his way into The Sketchbook Project, a global art project that involves creating art in sketchbooks and having your work exhibited across thousands of miles to different cities in North America and eventually finding its permanent home to be displayed at the Brooklyn Art Library. Here are some samples from Chocko’s sketchbook. As you can see, all it takes is some creativity, pencils and ink. definitely take part in the 2014 Sketchbook Project and be a part of the traveling library of artist’s books. It only costs $25 to get a sketchbook mailed to your house. Pick a theme, draw and create and mail back your sketchbook by the deadline. Don’t wait, participate!
The drawing on the left is from a DVD sitting on my shelf. House Party is one of my favorite comedies that came out in the 90’s. The movie starred rappers Kid and Play. There were a couple sequels, but the original one is the best. The drawing on the right is The Gill Man from the classic Univeral Studios horror movie The Creature From The Black Lagoon. The man who portrayed The Gill Man, Ben Chapman Jr. signed a photo for me at a convention and included “Aloha.” I remember chatting with him and we talked about Hawaii. Rest in peace, Mr. Chapman.
On the left is a drawing of Leela from one of my favorite animated television series, Futurama. Looks like Leela forgot to wear clothes. On the right is a drawing of Cannibal Fuckface I ripped off from a cover of the sick and violent graphic novel series, Prison Pit by Johnny Ryan.
I started this one and it was supposed to be a scene in a cafe but then I just got lazy and got inspired by a particular scene from the Crumb documentary. If you want to see more, hustle over to the Brooklyn Art Library and check out the 2013 sketchbooks from March 1-3, from there they go on the road and will be stopping in Austin, Atlanta, Toronto, Chicago, Portland, San Francisco and Los Angeles! Check out more of Chocko’s sketches in (book 193.79-10) also look out for Mr. C’s world premiere sketchbook. More info on that later. Thanks again to Mary (she did a sketchbook too!) for convincing me to do this again. Check out her new blog titled Make Life Your Goal where she shares photos and tales of her many adventures and reviews her favorite places to eat and drink!
