dirty project :: sketch fly

[Yannick]

hello I am yannick, some call me The yannick...
others that drunk fucked up dude in that corner trying to do things to us
falling on the floor and thinking that this water is really rum and coke...


anyway

new project.. that involve...

creating art... writings words.. finishing others lines...not those lines...
that we don't share. but will share this

it will involve the shipping of sketch book.. from dirty to dirty...

if your up to it let me know...

I want the outsider head to be back into out head and share out heads
with the others heads peeking into our head for more

it will be a travelling mail carnage...
so let's ban tom... unless he wants to put lipstick on his dick and make
a kiss on the front cover for luck.

[velvetongue]

i'm so in.

[adam]

i'm totally in. great fucking idea.

[BeautifulBurnout]

This sounds awesome - count me in too :)

[myrrh]

Count me in too.

[spacefish]

Very cool! I'm in. :)

[holden]

Great idea, Yan!
Always like a good book i can write in.

[koisk]

in in in in

[Professor]

but i can't draw for shit

[adam]

me neither. do anything to it. tape in cutouts from magazines. write. kill a spider by closing the sketchbook on it. whatevs.

[Yannick]

great :)

it's not limited to writing, you can make a collage in it stamp stuff
but I don't want it to go all over the place with randomness

the words would be an answer to a dilemma
the dilemma can hinted/supported in any form other than words but it is not required

once one is done with his part, he will be shipping it to one of the name in the package. the person receiving it will then have to continue the conversation and push it to new direction. there's no limit on how many page you can use

you will have 1 week once you receive the package to do your part and ship it to the next person

once the book is done it will be shipped back to me and scanned into an e-book and shared on dirty.

once scanned the book that travelled around would be given away to one of the collaborator.

i'd like those really serious about it to email me your mailing address -> yannick@dirty.org, and blood type information.

thanks

[rayray]

I love the sound of this - count me in

[Yannick]

ok I got the book.. i've started to fill in the pages
i'll do so until friday then ship it to
one of those who sent me their mailing addy..

if you haven't ... please do so.

[Tania]

my address is 123 Send Art here Lane.

This is an awesome idea, and Im glad you thought of it =)

[Leon]

So you just have to write something poetic or anything?

[Yannick]

The book in is the Mail...

Direction -> Vancouver, Canada.

you get to decide where you send it next... the names and address are on the last page
..

note: I kinda bended my own idea... with the theme... feel free to do the same and rebel :)

[chino]

I'm IN. Some years ago, within the old dirty, we made something similar sharing music compilations, most of them were incredible, so did the art.

[nat]

count me in toooo!!!! :) :) ):

[Liam]

I'd love to be in on this as well. Who should I email my address to?

[Leon]

Yeah I want to be part of this :)

[gambit]

Not really sure what's going on, but I want in. I write and attempt to draw, and I definitely want to participate. :)

[adam]

The eagle has landed, but I have to go to the post office to pick it up, which is a little tricky around my work schedule. I'll pick it up ASAP. (won't fit in my mail box)

[anna]

This is a really cool idea.

However I am a little bit iffy about the whole names and addresses in the back of the book. Wouldn't it be simpler just to have usernames and cities in the list, and then whoever has it ask the next person they choose for their details?

[kid cue]

i'm down. can someone let me know who to send my addy to?

EDIT: and what are the dimensions of the book?

[adam]

Yan, do you want me to add additional addresses for new would-be participants, or what?

[chino]

I did send my info to YAN via email. WIll I be confirmed, or what's the next step? Did I sound anxious? :D

[Yannick]

about new addresses please email them to me, I will manage
them, there's already 10 name with the book that has shipped,

about you private information, if you want them to stay off the eyes of anyeone working on the book please advise me personally about it, I like the idea of having just a list of name and city, I tried to keep it as simple as possible by leaving all the current participant name included.

I can send adam a new updated list to insert on the back.

[Yannick]

the book has now landed in Denmark. :rolleyes: didn't think it would cross the ocean so fast !! I like surprises.

[adam]

I thought it might be better if it didn't finish North America before going overseas...

[anna]

What size is the book? A4?

[Yannick]

What size is the book? A4?

it is about 5x7

[34958hq439-qjw9v5jq298v5j]

i love it! count me in

[big screen satellite]

check - me in...

noodles and doodles....

[chino]

Yan, do you have any news?
.
.
.
.
.
I mean, whatever?
;)

[Yannick]

latest news - the book is in europe.

[Yannick]

the sketch book is now off to england, #4 on the list now.

at the speed this is going, i'm tempted to send a new book every 2 month...thinking about it....

[myrrh]

I figured it would go down like this. Also, does it end with the people that sent you the email before it left your hands, or does it get to go to everyone who chimed in since? I don't mean to sound like a bastard by that, but if you keep adding people to the list then it is going to go the way of the dirty box and never come to a close, nor ever make it to most of the people on the list.

By the time it makes it to Africa, I may be in another continent. :rolleyes:

[Yannick]

at the moment there's 10 name with the current book, I have all the other names here with me, i'm monitoring the progress of the first one and will adjust as things progress, so you may still be on the list for the first book, or placed on the list for the 2nd one. I haven't made a decision about that yet.

[chino]

you're the boss Yan. just make it as fair as possible.

[esaias]

I'm in!

(i never got that dirty box, even I tried 2 times so wish me luck with this book...)

-Tomi

[chino]

I'm in!
so wish me luck with this book...)


Good luck Tomi, believe me... you're gonna NEED it.:p

[Yannick]

nah luck isn't part of it
just don't let drunk people take control of stuff

oh btw i'll be in mexico soon chino if you want to bribe me for whatever...
I take rum and coke and pretty much anything else.

smile :rolleyes:

[chino]

smile :rolleyes:

nice Yan, I'll going to tell you the same as I did to Croz, "i'll take you with some mexican putas".... just joking.

when, are you already here by now? OMG

[BeautifulBurnout]

OK - I got it and I promise I won't hold on to it for weeks and weeks. Well, I'll try not to, anyway. Got some inspiration so I might attack it tomorrow. :)

[chino]

jaynee, do something beautiful.... you're the appropiate person to do so:)

[BeautifulBurnout]

Thank you - I'll do my best!

:rolleyes:

I'll select another 10 name from those who wanted to participate.
then ship the book in a week or so, I'm adding a different set of directives
to guide you or not.

always open to new ideas/direction

talk

unless you repair that shower that's a no !

[gambit]

Man, I keep forgetting about this. Make sure to message me or email me whenever in the not-too-distant-but-probably-distant-for-me future when it's my turn! :)

[Yannick]

I don't know when your turn will be, as I let those with the book decide who to send it to.

I can only let you know that your on the book list. ... but i've been tracking the first one so it shouldn't be a problem.

[joethelion]

oh, if it's not too late

can you add me to the list?

[chino]

oh, if it's not too late

can you add me to the list?

so, prepare your creativity and inspiration to come up with something nice for early 2008.
:eek:

[joethelion]

yea - I figured as much... especially with what happened with the "dirty box" (which has been soooo long, I forget what it was all about - save for the name)

and that whole send a mixtape deal, which seemed to falter with the person who was after me (or one more person down the list) -> although that was a really cool 'project' and it whole-heartedly got me hooked to Herbert & Roots Manuva

[BeautifulBurnout]

OK

I know it has taken me ages to get my ass into gear, but it is on its way to California in the morning :D

[Yannick]

i've been asked about dimensions of the book

book #1 is about 5x7...
book #2 is 4,5x6

I shall send the second one this week.

I was also asked if you could prepare stuff in advance and glue/stick it inside, that is ok with me, yet the idea is to respond to some of the content in the book else you could just send me everything without having the conversation i'm trying to achieve between each participant.

let me know if you have any other questions.. the book is now off to california. will keep you updated.

next one is going directly to europe. 10 next name on the list.

[chino]

next one is going directly to europe. 10 next name on the list.

Yan, as far as i know, Mejico is not in Europe.:D

[myrrh]

whatever happened to following the rules:

'you will have 1 week once you receive the package to do your part and ship it to the next person '


I can understand a little lag, but come people, this should be over and done with by now.

[ndrwrld]

my addy has been sent to The Yannick.
looking forward to collaborating...

[Yannick]

will try to have an update on the project tomorrow
as far as I know the book is California right now.

[joethelion]

yea - why do all these projects, like the aforementioned cassette mixtape deal always seem to start reasonably strong...

then putter out?

[Yannick]

just for the fact that its a long distance thing... it's harder to keep everything going that way as there's less communication verbal and in person about the whole thing, as this will provide result much later it is even harder, but still confident it is worth it.

just be patient, but keep shaving you never know :p

[rayray]

any location updates on sketch fly?

[Yannick]

in the californian sun

[stimpee]

I thought you'd filled the book up yourself :) you did mention that in your drinking competition movie...

[myrrh]

I will be going back to the US in about two weeks and going to be there for a few months or so.

So, if this continues make sure to PM to get my US address and not send it to Africa.

It is a shame that this has not been finished by now because I wanted to contribute to it while I was physically in Marrakech.

I thought that one of the requirements was that you had to be serious about doing this? How many people has the book made it through yet, and ten months have past!

I don't mean to sound like a prick, but EVERY single thing that we tried to do like this has failed.

[Yannick]

oh I filled the second one I was suppose to send entirely... need a 3rd one to become the 2nd one again :rolleyes:

[holden]

Yeah, i've moved since i signed up, so my address isn't currrent anymore, either. So, if the book is heading to Holden in Houston, PM me before dumping it in the post! ;)

i know sending things internationally (or even nationally) takes time/costs money, but i agree, some more frequent updates on where the book has been, what's in it and where it's headed would be cool.

[industri_studios]

Is it too late to get involved now? I'd be happy to start Book 2... me wanna make marks on paper for UW!

Hmmm...

[galama]

Hey, great idea. I'd like to participate too. What is the current status of the UW scrapbook?

[chino]

oh i almost forgot the fly!

[gambit]

I just got to thinking about this. How far along are we? I have a great idea for it! :)

[//\/\/]

count me in...

[galama]

I'd like to contribute. Count me in.

[holden]

Does this book/project even exist anymore? The whereabouts?

It was a good idea and seemed to have a lot of people wanting to contribute, and it would have been really cool to see the finished product. Where did it fall through the cracks?

[jOHN rODRIGUEZ]

Only if Tom does the lipstick thing.
