No Tony, its a gallery in New York that does sketchbook projects. It cost 25  dollars and for that you receive your sketchbook. There is a list of themes you can either pick or they will randomly select. Then you send off your sketchbook filled and at present mine is touring America and then will live in the Brooklyn Gallery. They have sketchbook projects every year but have lots of other ones two. check out http://www.arthousecoop.com/. Galleries here can be so elitest, this is a great way to open art to everyone ! As for the photography a scanner is a great tool !!!

Hi Maeve,

 I'd like to echo Jane's comment about sketchbooks. They're always interesting. And your photography of these pages is good, too, as I know its not easy to get them well lit and cropped square. It can be tricky enough to do with a painting on canvas which tends to sit still and behave better than a sketchbook will.

Btw, what is the Arthouse Coop? Is that your Wicklow group?

Why  thank you Jane. It always feels a bit daunting putting your work on display amongst others!
