Sketchbook Tour Travel Blog #1 (We haven't left yet)

Welcome to the Art House Travel Blog for our Sketchbook project tour. As you may or may not know, Shane and I are driving those little sketchbooks all over the country to each city we are going. We are hoping to meet lots of the new people and see lots of awesome stuff! Of course we will be keeping you updated every step of the way!

This is my first entry of the tour. Its Saturday and we are leaving in two days. Tonight we meeting up at the gallery to start planning how we are going to fit this all into Shane's little car. It a two door Honda Civic. Not very practical we know! Last night we kicked everything off with the first stop, our gallery here in Atlanta, Ga. What an awesome time it was! We had a huge crowd at the gallery as well as a packed live feed online! I want to say, how awesome everyone's book is. We were BLOWN AWAY about the talent from every book we got! Everyone at the show was also blown away by all your talent. People stayed for hours flipping through all your books!

Monday we set off for Washington DC! Its about a 10 hour drive from Atlanta to Washington. We will arrive late Monday. The show is at the Museum of Contemporary Art DC. Its will be from 7-10 on Tuesday night. Please come visit us and say hi if you are in the area! We would love to meet as many of you as possible.

We will be consistently updating our flickr page with photos of the tour. Not just of the shows, but of the whole experience! Please check it out! flickr.com/arthousecoop

Bon Voyage,

Steven and Shane
