Zine/Sketchbook Project: Big shout to Alejandra Perez for hitting us with this one/Shes working on a project with these folks...

1.The Fiction Project : This looks like a pretty cool project, where you receive a small sketchbook, you fill it with art, then you send it back to a library in Red Hook, Brooklyn where they make it available for folks to see in an exhibit.
