Facebook got me to create a little art

Once upon a time I was an artist. But these days I use all the usual excuses to explain why I'm not being creative - time, money and space (charcoal really is messy).

But one day last fall, the Art House Co-op asked their current artists to post on FB that they were participating in the Sketchbook Project. I saw the post, clicked on the link, and within 5 minutes had paid the $20 to participate. The Co-op had found a project that appealed to professional arts and soccer moms: Fill out a small, inexpensive sketchbook with any medium within 5 months and mail it in.

The project had the write amount of direction and free-reign, the price and audience was right and the price was affordable, but high enough that I would follow through since I had invested money in this thing. I have seen no other ads for this company or the project, aside from that one FB post.
