This will help you to get through any boring phone call or meeting: The Scribble Project was started by the Australian artist Lisa Currie, and grew from a zine project to a blog, now archive, to the current club on Flickr. Doodlers are invited to complete a sketch-friendly "questionnaire" and upload it to the club.
The original Scribble sheet that got it all started:
Here are a couple of the filled-in sheets:
More are on the archive blog. New "blank" sheets are on Flickr.

1000 Journals and Someguy makes an appearance in Blanket Magazine, a collaborative PDF publication which is uncovering artists, designers and photographers from around the world.
A few days ago, Blanket launched a redesigned website, and put out Number 15, The Communication Issue. Editor and Art Director Bec Brown writes, "It's all about that thing we have to do everyday as artists/designers/photographers/crafters…
The Art of Communication: how do you communicate with an audience you might never meet? features Jonathan Hulme's interview with Someguy, a story about Post Secret, Blanket's own Pass It On project, a section about Crafter-Bloggers, and many interviews punctuated by great art and photography. There's also a call for contributions to the next issue, whose theme is "Portrait." Deadline: May 15th.
Just a few days before the start of Artfest, Teesha and Tracy Moore opened the virtual doors to Journalfest, a workshop weekend to be held at Fort Worden in Port Townsend, October 21 to 25, 2009. If you have seen our Artfest Special on the 1000 Journals DVD, you know what to expect: loads of inspiration, support, love, great teachers and great fun in a spectacular setting. In other words - highly recommended.
On the cute Journalfest website, which is worth a visit even if you can't attend, are infos and links to download registration, workshop, and schedule PDFs.
It's simple: You pick up to ten colors, and the idée multicolr search lab pulls small squares from ten million "interesting" pictures on Flickr.
I tried with gray scale and shades of red and pink...
The multicolr search lab is synonymous with everything I LOVE about the internet, and now I can color this love in all shades of pink! Or green, or blue...

(Thank you, Kim, at the re:design blog, for yet another great find!)
If you haven't yet, try to catch the 1000 Journals exhibition at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) soon, because the show is going to be taken down in 24 days.
Nothing beats the chance to handle the journals in person, but if you're too far away, there's great blog coverage. Just a few examples: our dear friend Adda Dada, who came to all screenings at the San Francisco International Film Festival, put up a set of pictures on his Flickr site. Nick, of the Worldli Blog, wrote about discovering Janice's pages in Journal 751, which "included an email and phone number at the end of the 3-page entry; the phone number had a 732 area code which is the same area code that my parents live in back in Jersey. So I took out my BlackBerry and I emailed her right there, standing above this book that had changed hands multiple times all over the world." Nick and Janice became pen pals, Facebook friends, and may meet when Janice is in California on the AIDS/Lifecycle tour. Janice's story in our film: her journal was quarantined in the Anthrax scare of 2001. Here's an upclose look at the card Someguy created for the exhibition, along with tips on successful promotion. Artquiltmaker Jaye and her friend Julie each posted about the show they visited together, and made some interesting (if not critical) notes about what people put in the journals on exhibition. I love this blog post, from In The Pine: "walls of journals that people. strangers. sisters. brothers. write in. telling anything. drawing something. cutting and pasting everything. they were filled with secrets. confessions. stories. art. george bush. it was powerful to read and look at. i could have stayed hours reading." Laura Mappin (who is in the film) wrote about her entry, "I riffed off of someone else's offering -- what if the hokey pokey is what it's all about?" Engineer's Daughter wrote, "I found an empty spot in one of the journals and added a little bit of my own writing, making it extra-personal just for good measure. It's both wonderful and terrifying that I'll never know who will read it." In an earlier post, I mentioned blog stories in "Adoption & Fire," Sean Woolsey's blog, and Steve Rhodes' flickr set, all with great pictures.
The film will screen again on Free Thursday, April 2nd. Leave a comment if you're planning to come to the screening, please... I may come, too.

On January 14th, Belen filled in the comment form on the 1000 J website and sent me a short note: "Congratulations for such an amazing project. I've being checking out the screenings, but Spain doesn't appear... yet. Do you think you will come?" We started to write back and forth, and then Belen made a wonderful proposal: she'd try to set up screenings at universities in the Alicante area, and at the FNAC store, which is a French/Spanish chain, like a cultural center, plus Border, Apple, Amazon and Virgin Mega stores rolled into one. We spoke a few times on Skype and Belen got the ball rolling. And here it is:
The screening at University Miguel Hernandez in Elche/Alicante is on Monday, March 16th, at 6:00 PM. The host is the Journalism Faculty - Economics and Financial Study Department, Prof. Miguel Carvajal. Check the faculty's blog for event details. Belen pitched the film's context as being "Creativity from the bottom. Co-creation. Storytelling. Web 2.0 as a big challenge, but also a risk. New ways to communicate in a global context: Trust vs Fear." Brilliant!

Sinopsis: San Francisco, USA. Año 2000. Un artista llamado Someguy decide lanzar un experimento creativo: repartir 1000 libretas en blanco por todo el mundo, con una única intención: permitir que quien la encontrara pudiera crear algo en ella y demostrar así que todos somos creativos y co-creadores. Gracias a Internet, usuarios de todo el mundo comenzaron a interconectar, solicitando formar parte del experimento. Las libretas fueron de mano en mano, y pasado un tiempo, una de ellas volvió a manos de Someguy. Pero, ¿qué pasó con las otras 999? Andrea Kreuzhage, directora del film, dirige el documental en busca de todas ellas: un viaje lleno de relatos personales, sorpresas e interesantes paradojas.
Contexto: La creatividad, vista desde el usuario final. Internet y co-creación. Globalización y 2.0: ¿tiene límites la red? El storytelling como nueva herramienta de comunicación. Confianza vs miedo. La co-creación, nuevos diálogos entre marca y consumidor.
