Sweaty peeps! If any of you live in or will be near these cities on these dates, I’d love for you to check out this exhibit and find my sketchbook. The Sketchbook Project 2012 is sponsored by the Brooklyn Art Library and features an evolving collection of artists’ sketchbooks. These sketchbooks will be going on a world tour, which means hyperhidrosis will be featured worldwide! While I’m not much of an artist, I decided to use my sketchbook as a platform to create hope and awareness for those who have hyperhidrosis and for anyone else who has ever felt uncomfortable in their own skin. The theme of my sketchbook is hope. It’s cataloged as the same name as my blog, Hyperhidrosis–My Life as a Puddle (and other adventures). It will be digitized, so once I get the information on that I will post a link for you here. I also have an artist profile on the Sketchbook Project’s site.
So, if you are able to make it and can find my sketchbook, it would mean the world to me if you’d take a picture of yourself with it (or just the book itself if you’re camera shy) and either email it to me via the email address listed on my blog or post it on my facebook page. If you don’t want your picture re-posted here or don’t want it on facebook but still want to email it to me, that’s totally fine. Just tell me so when you email it to me privately. I will not post your photo or any identifiable information if you don’t want me to. I would simply appreciate any photos from this project that I can get as a personal visual of our sweaty little community here. 🙂
