		Arlissa Vaughn almost 2 years Will you vote to empower emerging artists? http://short.to/22v99 Thnx from a fellow artist :)
		Elly Wright almost 2 years Lucky you, being in a place where you can actually see the thousands(?) of books sent in. If you see my book in the exhibition setting, would you mind photographing it and sending me a picture by email? An overall shot would also be appreciated. Now, back to the drawing board (or in my case, canvas). I have some deadlines to meet but have been ill, so I'm way behind. Best wishes.
		Elly Wright about 2 years Hi Renee, Today our sketchbooks will be out there to be shared with whoever is interested. Guess what, I was looking at the blog and at flickr, both of which are showing some photos of themed boxes with our books - I actually saw a corner of my book sticking out (it has quite a distinctive colourful cover). At least I now know that it arrived safely! The postal service in UK provided a very erratic service at the end of last year - wild cat strikes etc. Anyway, I wished I could be there to see all the books of my new friends. Will you be able to go when the show comes to Chicago?
		Katherine Statsenko about 2 years Your work is gorgeous! I am inspired!!
		Elly Wright about 2 years Had a look at your website and am bowled over. Your work is beautiful - execution, colour, atmosphere - entirely the kind of work I like. I love the ambiguity of 'is it floating, exploding or carried by the wind?' of much of your imagery. Am bookmarking your site to have a longer look.
		Gray about 2 years Wow!!! What a super sketch book!!
