The Graphic Art of An International Sketchbook

"book" is a four-artist project in which a sketchbook was shipped back and forth between Brooklyn, New York and Belfast, Northern Ireland. The four participating artists were Duke Riley, and Mac Premo, Rory Jeffers, and Oliver Jeffers.

The sketchbook has been reprinted in a signed, limited edition and sells for about $90. Prints have also been made of each artwork and are being sold in limited editions of 50, with individual 25" x 16.5" prints selling for $175. [Link]

"Little Timmy"

Patricia Highsmith

Lots more great stuff on his website.
