The Sketchbook Project 2011

[goodgollymissmolly92]

You are so talented and inspiring! I'm in an upper level drawing class at the college I go to and we need to fill out a sketchbook by the end of the semester. I never thought of doing a theme for one before, but I've got an idea finally! Thank you :)

[Beautysmoothies]

wish i could look trough youre sketchbook, it looks so inspiring... think ill make one of my own

[TRANSiENTART]

@Beautysmoothies I hope you do, and that you have fun with it too =)

[Draw4God]

Good stuff! Just subscribed, do the same =)

[BlackXxMoon]

Amazing. ^.^

[theflightyartist]

This is so brave and inspirational. I never thought of doing a whole book with one theme. It seems like that really did give you the space to process something really big. I am inspired to do one. Thank you! And of course, your work is gorgeous.

[tedoymisojos]

I loved this when I saw it in arthousecoop, Great job. Thank you

[courtneymarshall11]

[TRANSiENTART]

@courtneymarshall11 It’s too late to sign up for the 2012 tour, but if you to their site you can find out more info. on the things they host and when the next one might be =)

[courtneymarshall11]

@courtneymarshall11

The sketchbook project for 2012 is now over but sign ups are still open for the Limited Edition sketchbook but it will not go on tour, just remain in the Brooklyn art Library.

Hope this helps,

Let me be honest, I'm here because I think that u are beautiful & a great artist, but for more honestly i'm here cuz u are in the video =)

[TRANSiENTART]

@uygyd Made me really smile =) thank you

[blueeyedgiant1]

you are an amazing artist no doubt about it, you have a wild imagination and i love the way you express your emotions in your work in ever shape and form :D keep on doing what your doing dont let anything get in your way :P

[erindebi]

I just had to say...thank you thank you thank you for sending me the prints :) I hope I did not bother you

[jtai36]

that sketchbook is awesome. whenever you're feeling down, just remember to tell yourself, "i am an amazing artist!" because it's so true, and certainly i'm amazed. i know sometimes there are those moments... god only knows. but for the most part at least, everything's part of that cycle of birth, death, renew. it's not the end, it's not the beginning. keep moving on, keep growing. keep being the wonderful you, you were always meant to be <3

[shadette0823]

I never leave comments. But for you I make the exception. Your art is inspired. You are a strong, intelligent,beautiful person. I hope for the best for you and your family. You and you family are in my prayers.

[erindebi]

You are gifted. Remember that everything happens for a reason. Stay well

[MyMidnight1111]

You are such a beautiful free spirit. So young to be so wise. You and your beautiful art have touched my heart and my life. Much Love Peace and Light ~ Belinda

[leannvlewis]

I know how you feel. I am grateful for your sharing. Please continue. Best of luck to you and your family.

[Kimmirisk]

You are a beautiful person.

[BlackPhoenixFire16]

Im glad to see that you are able to find some peace and use your experience in a positive way Lauren :) And Im happy my friend told me about it and that I in turn told you lol. Your work never ceases to amaze me so just keep on going and everything will be fine for you :)

[TRANSiENTART]

@BlackPhoenixFire16 thanks so much, and I am glad that you told me about it! lol (happy I finally finished this video too, can't believe it took me so long actually) *hugs* I'm doing next year's tour too, though I get the feeling it shouldn't take me as long as this one did. One day if you lay my art side by side, it will go to the moon and back or something haha

[BlackPhoenixFire16]

@TRANSiENTART @BlackPhoenixFire16 *hug* If it doesnt go to the moon its gonna go around the states at LEAST 50 times XD or would that be equal to going to the moon do you think? O.o

[TRANSiENTART]

@BlackPhoenixFire16 If it doesn't go to the moon, then it's going to Jupiter! ( I was going to make a Uranus joke, but you know...) ^^; Now I need to look up the distance to the moon and just how wide the states are and do the math. Thaaaaaaankkksss!!

[BlackPhoenixFire16]

@TRANSiENTART Hey now you dont gotta go that far!! XD But if you let me know how it turns out. o.o

[aaokiwan]

Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark. In the hopeless swamps of the not quite, the not yet, and the not at all, do not let the hero in your soul perish and leave only frustration for the life you deserved, but never have been able to reach. The world you desire can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours.

[mariteri15000]

I was so sorry to hear about your miscarriage. I wish I knew what to say that didn't sound pithy or cliché. Time, from the sound it if, has helped and I'm happy to hear that. May God bless and keep you. Thank you for sharing your art.

[TRANSiENTART]

@mariteri15000 It during those times when you feel as if out of the thousands of words that exist it's hard to put your finger on an exact one. I am much better now, and I think art along with time has helped to heal. I hope all is well. Thank you for the kind words.

[KillerSaxophone]

i really love the Crow person and the checkerboard moonscape :D this project sounds cool!

[ObiWanGuacamoli]

That's so incredible and you put so much work into it. I feel like they should be paying you to take your book on tour. :)

[HamdanAlRasam]

It's always hard to give away something you invested so much emotion into, feels like you might as well be giving out an autobiography about your life but It gets better and the wounds do heal I'm speaking from experience here =)

[LivLivJM]

Your work is so creative an amazing! its expresses so much! I'm going to work towards getting my art to show more emotion! I love how you make and change up sketchbooks! its super amazing! You should really do more tutorials on it, especially the one you made with storyboard pages! I wold LOVE that! Thanks so much for sharing your work! Its so inspiring! <3

[falitosis]

Absolutely beautiful

[crashintome20]

i didnt know about the miscarriage. i just wanna say you and your family are in my prayers. and your baby is in heaven looking down on you and braggin about his/ hers mommys art work. xoxo

[TRANSiENTART]

@crashintome20 I made a video about what happened some time back. It’s been over a year now and I’ve learned to cope with it now, and am doing much better. My art helps me keep the memories alive in a more positive light I think.

[where10011]

Terrific!

[CraftyGamer]

I love your work so much! You are definitely in my top 5 people of who inspire me the most. :)

[TRANSiENTART]

@CraftyGamer lol that’s a big compliment thank you! *hugs*

[AuroraBooks]

Just wanted to let you know that I absolutely love your videos. You've actually helped me become more motivated and inspired as an artist myself, and I really appreciate you for that. Your work is fantastic and you can definitely tell that you've defined yourself as an artist. Thank you for sharing all of it with us :)

[sparklenshine285]

you are such an inspiration!!! makes me want to do something like this... but with photographs!! *hugs* love you!!

[TRANSiENTART]

@sparklenshine285 That’d be an amazing way to do it! Make an album of sorts maybe even? I’d print them out with white borders, punch holes in the corners and string them up with a pretty ribbon in a certain order. That’d be pretty. *hugs!!*

[sparklenshine285]

@TRANSiENTART yes!!! that is such a great idea!!! :) i will work on it for my senior college portfolio! :) i love your videos and i love them all!!! :) wish i was as good at drawing and painting as you *hugs*

[SasukeUchiha1226]

Wow…i don’t really know what to say…because I’m so flashed of your sketchbook and the video…I think the pictures in it are soo amazing *__* I was so deeply moved…a mix between sadness and a desire to make such a unbelievable sketchbook like you…I can’t really describe it...

Hugs from a ‘little’ girl from Germany x3

[TRANSiENTART]

@SasukeUchiha1226 Thank you so much, I think that’s why it took me awhile to finish editing this video too, it sort of kept getting to me. You can participate in the 2012 Project still =D or even make one on your own just because. It really is a great way to challenge yourself. You never know how you might feel afterwards, right? *hugs*

[jahasoto]

I believe that art is say its best when someone, the artists put a good deal of their emotions into it, and that's why I love the art you make.

I'm sorry to hear about your miscarriage, all I can do is offer my condolences.

[MariofanX2]

I'm a 30 year old man. I was brought to tears.
