The Official Superfuture Sketchbook Project

[tac0tron]

Don't think I'll be able to come up with a route this weekend.

[shufon]

^If you make a spreadsheet with a matrix of the distance traveled from each person to every other person, you should be able to use solver in Excel to create the shortest path possible.

edit: Nevermind, I was just thinking about this and it would be a total pain in the ass to get the distance traveled between each person.

[tac0tron]

I was just thinking about lining up cities and stuff ahah

[OCEANSECT]

just go on google maps and start making points for everyones addresses and then pick whatever the easiest path looks like

[tac0tron]

Thanks to Vanilla, we now have a route! I have to write up instructions for everyone but once that's done we'll get this thing rolling!

[aoi]

Huzzah !

[vanilla wafer]

So excited for this thing to set off!

[tac0tron]

Going to ship out real soon to the first artist, just need some things confirmed first.

[ifeelasleep]

is each person going to know who they're after? or only whos after them?

is this real life and sufu is back and this thing started?

Each person will know who they're after and who is after them.

[ke1]

[Bryce Lewis]

[khez]

^^ agreed. this is a really cool concept. i can't wait to see how it turns out.

[tac0tron]

PMs regarding instructions have been sent out to all artists. I will be shipping out the Sketchbook soon!

[akuma no uta]

Got the instructions pm. Thanks dude. I'm pretty stoked!

[CactusArmy]

This is gonna be epic!

[ph1l]

has the book been shipped out yet?

[the hall of vame]

my name used to be on the list now its not there... btw, whens this getting started, im anxious for my page.

[tac0tron]

Finals done. Books shipping out this week.

[tac0tron]

Okay, its going out today! I've stuck a sticker on the front so people won't get confused on front/back/upward shit. First artist will be neptunecitylocal!!!

[neptunecitylocal]

Sorry for the lag everyone. Been mad busy with all this holiday stuff.

Anyway, I've started on my page but my mediums are bleeding through to the other side. Waiting on an executive decision from tacotron or vanilla_wafer before I continue.

[vanilla wafer]

Just a slight hiccup- I'm being sent the first sketchbook, neptune's finished piece intact, for safe keeping until it's all to be scanned in. tacotron is going to procure us a new, perhaps more heavy-duty sketchbook, and it will be sent right along to the next person on the route (which would be ke1).

[ke1]

woah, didn't realize I was so early in the rotation. Was planning on feeding off of others' works for inspiration but I'll be sure to pull something decent off.

[tac0tron]

Lol nope, you're coming up soon!

yeah guys, if you have any suggestions for sketchbooks that could take a good art beating from a bunch of mediums without bleeding, please tell me. If nothing else comes to mind, i'll purchase the same sketchbook used and we'll provide a list of mediums that will not work out with it. Vanilla is going to test the first sketchbook with various mediums to see what works and what doesn't.

we could leave two blank pages between each piece.. i do that for my sketchbook that i use watercolor in to prevent paint bleeding from piece to piece. all though that would require a pretty thick book..

[ifeelasleep]

how about binding our own sketchbook with mixed media paper?

[tac0tron]

I'm open to all sketchbook ideas as long as we're able to fit everyone on the list.

[redX]

or how about a blotter sheet behind the page you are drawing on?

[tac0tron]

Just an update at the moment.

Neptunecitylocal is still finishing her piece in the sketchbook, while i'm still trying to find alternative ones.

A blotter would be cool but it wouldn't save the other side of the paper from being bled through, which will be a side another artist will draw on

[redX]

oh ok - i thought each person gets one page
