I never heard about Sketchtravel before, but after reading about it this morning I fell completely in love with the project.
The red sketchbook was passed between 71 artists in 12 countries over 4 and a half years. The list of artists and illustrators is impressive (Quentin Blake, James Jean, Taiyō Matsumoto to name a few) but it’s the idea that this little book was travelling for all that time that makes me smile – and that they managed to auction it off for $96,000, all of which was donated to Room to Read, a awesome charity that helps kids learn to read. Sold.
The beautiful video was put together by Sketchtravel and is totally inspiring and well worth a watch.
