Look what arrived in my mailbox yesterday!A little while ago I was asked if I'd like to contribute art to be part of the Artful Agenda 2009 Daily Planner. It's a fundraising project to help out the NE Portland Tool Library. Which is a great idea in itself.
I was thrilled to finally see the diary in the flesh, it's the sweetest thing! The perfect size for carrying with you, printed on recycled paper, chock-o-block full of art, and as charming as can be. There are 6 full page illos of mine in there, along with a bunch of works by Ashley G, Jessica Dadds, and heaps of others; 18 artists and a different illo for each day.
(See more of the art here.)
The whole thing has a lovely hand drawn feel to it. Each spread has a theme (i.e. a whole week of different ice creams, sock monkeys, shoes, yoga poses, or leaves) and there are pages for notes such as "Wildlife sightings", "Restaurants to check out", "Ways to reduce my carbon footprint"... It really is cool. I keep going back and flipping through it, seeing something new each time.
I'm so proud to be part of it. :)
They are only $15, and you can choose which cover you'd like.
So if you'd like to get yourself a copy (or as a perfect Chrissy gift for someone) they are for sale online from:
- The Artful Agenda website, or
- Their Etsy store.
And if you're in the Portland area, keep your eye out on the streets.

That is so cool! If I wasn't hopelessly in love with my filofax I would consider getting one, but I'm a lost cause :P

I've been looking for something like this. I think I'll buy myself an early Christmas gift =)
Something to be proud of that is for sure.
