I recently signed up for the 2013 ‘Sketchbook Project‘. Only just in time though as sign ups have now closed and completed sketchbooks have to be postmarked January 15th.

As a result of reading a lot more art publications lately, both online and hard copy, e.g, Ammo magazine, Inky Goodness etc, I was put in the way of another excellent art mag, created by artists for children (ostensibly) called Anorak Magazine.
