We are thrilled that the International Sketchbook Project is launching April 2, 2009.  The brainchild of Kenya Bevans of the B Side Design firm, the International Sketchbook Project identifies 50 artists who will be asked to prepare for publication original and creative sketches which are pertinent to their home country or locale.  Learn more at http://isketchbookproject.com/ and the blog http://thebsidedesign.wordpress.com/.

Lange raised her hand early on in the project’s development and even contributed to publicizing it within various sketchbook groups in www.flickr.com.  Lange is an entirely self-taught and late-emergent artist specializing in sketchbooks, visual diaries, artist journals and paper and book arts.  She also runs a full-service art advisory and design studio in the Washington DC area and is helping her commercial and private clients gain ground within the art world. 

Participating artists are also being asked to design some sort of postage stamp on the outside of the book.  Each artist will be given 4 pages in the book (2 pages, front and back). The first page being a hand-written introduction, the second, third and fourth pages will be used for the composition.
