I'm On My Way To London!
OK not physically, but my work is. Just recently the Moleskine company contacted me wanting to use my sketchbook as some kind of marketing device for their product. They requested if they could borrow the sketchbook for the London Book Fair, and of course I agreed. Why wouldn't I? I love the brand and don't see myself using another kind of sketchbook, so this is a huge honor for me. To my understanding they have someone in the company who's going to build a special case/contraption to hold my moleskine, and they will be printing and enlarging some of my paintings for the event. So it seems there will be a tiny exhibit of my work at the fair. I'm very excited about this and can't wait to see photographs from the event.

I was just admiring your Moleskine sketches on your flickr site this evening and checked your blog. Your sketches will make a wonderful addition to the Moleskine display at the London Book Fair. I hope you post some photos from the event. I rejoice with you at this happy opportunity.
Anyway, congratulations! What an honor. But a well-deserved one, no question.
Do they give you free Moleskines for life or anything...? Hehe.
(Also, I would have posted at 1:56, but I apparently typed the word verification incorrectly...)
p.s. I'll be in NYC soon; I'll call you about that!
Call me when you make it to NYC!
