Book Five: Home

[Eric Terry]

Our first overseas artbook, "Home", comes from Kyoto, Japan!

Amy explains:
"As an Australian living in Japan, the concept of 'home' has become a large part of my consciousness. What I miss about home, what I associate with my old life, and the things, people and places here in Japan that have come to represent a new feeling of home. Familiarity, new experiences, loss, learning and love.

Like those wise old folks say, Home isn't a place. Home is where your heart is.

P.S. My ad for this project was published in August's Kansai Scene, a widely circulated English magazine geared towards foreigners living in the Kansai area. It's been out for a few days and I've already had a few replies, so hopefully we'll see this list filling up soon :3"

Here's the lineup...

No, that wasn't me volunteering, but I considered it actually. Let me know if/when you need help; I'm not averse to lending a hand if needed.

Hey Eric, here's a little info about the theme for this sketchbook:

Hi,
Can I sign up please?
Lisa

[Eric Terry]

Sure thing! And I think, for postal charging purposes, it makes sense to slip you in under Amy, since she's also in Japan, instead of having the book come all the way from Japan out to the US just to go back again.

[Lisa Lipgloss]

Eric,

Thank you, I'm looking forward to seeing everyones ideas and contributing!

Lisa

[Eric Terry]

Me too!

[Eric Terry]

Ah, so good. I've edited the post to include your comments. Can't wait to see the response this generates!!!

[Amy]

I've uploaded the final page for my contribution to this book - it's unfair for me to hang onto it any longer :3 so I'm ready to pass it along to the next artist. What exactly is the procedure for this? Private email for addresses?

[Eric Terry]

Great! The second artists for this book is Lisa. I'd suggest sending her a PM and getting her address. (I'll do the same, just to be sure) Once you mail it, let me know and I'll cross your name off the list for this book. Great work, thanks again!!!

[Eric Terry]

Jessica has just been added to this book.

[NANO]

i want in. if it isn't filled up.

[Eric Terry]

I'm not sure how many pages are in this, but I'm thinking we'll be good to add a few more...
