There is this co-op called Art House where you can purchase a sketchbook for 25$ do whatever you want to it from the beginning of June to the beginning of January. You send it off to a museum in Brooklyn and it gets to tour all over the United States.
Here are a few examples of really fun sketchbooks that were sent in:
Susan Krok
Lynn Marcoe
Julia Nelson-Gal
Coincidentally, they are all from California...I guess that means great art work comes from the California, right?
