conceptart sketchbook!

[Form]

heya. i know about 4-5 of us guys down here in australia who are gagging to get a piece of the book so please dont neglect r leg of the journey. hope things get sorted out!

[Lohan]

mmmm am i on the list?

[endregan]

yes people are getting tired of waiting a month before figuring out where it is, this needs to be better organized!

maybe it just wont work out if people are too irresponsible on sending it and keep sending!

[Form]

lets send around a roll call slip as a test first ;)

[mtomczek]

The book didnt get stolen, its still alive and well, and as far as I know is on its way to infintipo or whatever his name is. Deadlines at dreamworks held the book up a bit longer then expected, but he got some stuff done in it for you all to see, and it should be moving soon.(If it hasnt moved already) Certain people are very busy, and you cant always expect the book to move along in a perfect timely manner. Sorry if people are freaking out about this, but if you want quality artwork in the book, its going to take some time to move around.

[William b. Hand]

That's great to hear, mtomczek!


...But, I think we all understand that some stops will be longer than others...

What really confused and concerned everyone was the continuing lack of information on the whereabouts of the book. I think it'd be a nice courtesy for whomever sends the book out to mention as much, and whomever recieves it to do the same.

The person who recieves the book might even make mention of the fact that they're swamped and will be taking awhile...

A project like this easily warrants that the artist post mention of arrival and departure dates, and I hope it becomes the norm.



Glad to hear it hasn't been ripped off or lost.

[isopod]

is the list still open for applicants? I just found out about this project today. Hopefully there's a spot left...I'm here in Northern Virginia....I'm gonna go ahead and send my info to satire then if that's okay?


cheers,
--Isopod

[William b. Hand]

Sorry isopod...

I believe the book is booked.

Next one, maybe...

[isopod]

:( I guess I'll just have to wait for the next one then. But I'll be checking on the progress of this one, can't wait to see the results!

cheers,
--Isopod

[Jens]

whew good to hear this :)

[Red_Rook]

If the role call list is full, I seriously would gladly start a second one in europe. (it can go to other places after but starting in europe)

[Anto]

im all for starting a second one in europe,
it can be either just for europe/australia etc, or can come back to the states as well

point is 2 books >1

[Form]

im commin down there in May for my brothers wedding (little off topic i know)

i cant wait for the book to get up here...i feel honored, im the only one representing my state for this..hehe

[satire]

whew, im glad that the book is moving. yes, i also think it would be good to say when you get it/if its taking you an excessive amount of time(say, more than 2 weeks)/when you send it.
for the people who want to start a second one in europe, PM me if you are serious and ill send you the list of people in europe...

as for the people in australia, i think ill slot you in after the callifornia people.

oh, and if there IS a book started in europe, it means 5-8 slots are now open in the book. yay! and what the hell ever happened to the website?

[Jens]

umh no, i still think the first book should follow the original list wheter there is a second book or not..

[William b. Hand]

I agree.

Don't screw with the BOOK 1 list...
Keep it as-is in all its international glory.

[Red_Rook]

Start a book 2 list then. send it to me satire, btw yer pm box is full.

I also tried to write to you about the thunder dome, the thread for us is up.

[el_kyrre]

i would be on a second book... but i´d rather get the first one, because i want to see Coros artwork in real life... and feel it!
There is nothing better than to have seen the original!

el_kyrre

[isopod]

so...if there is gonna be a second book, can I join then? And where is the official website for this project? I've seen 3 different addresses so far :D


cheers,
--Isopod

[Happy Camper]

Awesome :D. Can I get in on the second sketchbook? I think Form_n_Focus tried to get me a page in the first book but I think I missed out :(. Am I on the list Satire? Either way I think a second book is a good idea, it seems alot of ppl missed out on the first.

Yo Skank, are you coming to Sydney? If you are you should come have a beer with me and Form :D.

[Form]

CHYAH! beer........:D Skank...is on da way....hey hey...and BEER!

i was down there a couple years ago for 3 months, that was great!
ill be there for 3 weeks this time around , all the time i could get off werk.
hes gonna be gone for a week on his honeymoon tho, if its not too much i could catch a train to sydney (holy long ass trainride batman!) and hook up with yall

surfers paradise, hahahah sorry. Isnt it meant to be the tackiest place in the whole of oz. Sorry that was uncalled for. No man seriously GO TO SYDNEY youl love it. :)
^Thats a melbournite saying that even:)

Oh and by the way ill gladly start a new book. No probs, unless some1 else wants to do it.

[Form]

hahaha. i was in surfers paradise for schoolies week (similar to spring break) and yeh its tacky, but your right, its an absolute party town. I never would have got as smashed as i did if schoolies was in sydney.

Some things i recommend you check out:

Caville Ave: The main, most popular street. Entertainment includes The "OFF yA HEAD bong shop", "Condom Kingdom" (any of the 5 or so there) and Ripleys "Believe it or not!"

Infinity: the trippiest experience short of...well, a trip. If you ARE on a trip during your trip, trip out your trip and take a trip to Infinity! (turn right near the end of caville mall and theres another mall about 100m down, its in there.)

Nightclubs: There are quite a few, but i suggest The Bourbon Bar or for the more discerning gentleman, the Crazy Horse ;)

well, i hope you have fun and enjoy the great.....view.....at the...beach......:D

And if you can manage to come down to sydanee itd b great to have a drink. As a matter of fact, work may be taking me up surfers way soon enough, so our timings may coincide.

[/Off Topic Rant]

[infinitipo]

hum...still don't have it...I'll tell you guys when/if I get it...

[Happy Camper]

@ Skank: The train is about $110 - $120 (australian dollars - One way). You could fly for $170 (return). If you really need to you could crash at my place.

[Form]

wheeeee an old fashion slumber party......

*runs*

[Happy Camper]

That's it Form. Your uninvited! :p

[Form]

teddy will be disappointed :(

[William b. Hand]

Uh...

You guys might consider PM-ing or E.mailing each other...

This isn't the forum for such an ongoing discussion, and it's annoying to keep getting e.mail alerts that don't have anything to do with the thread.

[Form]

sorry! completely forgot what thread i was in.

infinitipo, any arpdate on teh whereabouts? i say we get onto the US postal....they have some explainin to do.

also a Q: what happens if the medium we use goes through paper?

[Lauren Short]

sorry if i'm repeating someone's idea...but how bout we make it so the person who fills the last page buys another book, then the finished book can be sent to satire or someone for safekeeping.....hell, we could even try to make this a world record of the most artists contributing to a "pass-along" sketchbook...



awesome idea satire...too good...



o, and can i b on the list ;) :D :chug: :beer:

[satire]

if your planin to use something that might go through, you can use it on another piece of paper and then paste it in, or put a piece of cardboard behind it so it wont get on the paper behind it.

[Form]

roger that satire.

q: can i show it to my university buddies (not let them do anything in it, just show/critique the work)?

[cartoonfox]

wow, this is still going on? i just heard that its now in germany?? wasnt it supossed to be in wales (uk) first? ah well, maybe not.

man, am i missing something or is no one scanning any pages :)

looking forward to contributing. i just hope we dont need a second sketchbook. part of the fun of this is seeing everyone elses work. i've never seen somone elses art in real life before (except in an art gallery of course) :)



peace :)

[jester]

It hasn't reached me yet... Who has it currently?

Jester

[bRyaN]

Did it skip the entire east coast???

[empty]

who knows where it is... i'm in san diego and supposedly 4th or 5th down the line, but i never got it. i would still like to do it, but i think it's kind of lame that it disappeared already.

[satire]

well, i havnt heard form anyone in a long, long time. the last person i knew had it was mtom, and it was supposed to go to infinitipo. i need a ruling..should i send out a second book?

[jester]

Satire, I really suggest that you send out a second book. Also, make public to whom you sent it and when that person is meant to pass it on to whom... hmmm. do I make myself clear?

What I mean is: All people participating should know where the book is at a given time, who has to send it on to whom and when.

Thus, if it gets lost, we know who to kill ;)

Mtomczek Said:The book didnt get stolen, its still alive and well, and as far as I know is on its way to infintipo or whatever his name is. Deadlines at dreamworks held the book up a bit longer then expected, but he got some stuff done in it for you all to see, and it should be moving soon.

That was a month ago. That was at the end of January that he said that. It was probably a month or two prior that he said he'd picked it up from el coro. We've seen the scans up to that point.... including mtom's ... So... I don't get it.

Now it's March, and we haven't heard/seen anything from infinitipo or mtomczek. Who had the book last? As best I can tell mtom kept apologizing for not sending it, and infinitipo reported it hadn't arrived.

Did infinitipo give the wrong address? Did mtom leave it on a bus?

Mtomczek, you seem to be the last person to have the book so maybe you can tell us the last time you saw the book?

SATIRE, I encourage you to send out a second book. Maybe we can each include a dollar bill with our entry so that by the time it comes back to you you'll have your money back?

And, as Jester and others have said before: We should have a full list of who's got it and where it's headed. Occassionally it'll probably get held up for short periods -- that's fine -- but we should have a clear understanding of the who and the why.

[satire]

ok. ill buy a second book this weekend (or as soon as i have the $$) and post a full list.

[empty]

wow, cool... yeah let's get it going again... PM with you address and i'll send you a donation.

[lyon]

I think I might have found the sketchbook. Crazy thing really. I am suprized that I noticed it to be honest. Let me know if THIS looks familiar:

This image was taken just days ago by the Mars rover, "Sprit." Looks like someone forgot something...

[infinitipo]
