     I've been meaning to write a review about a fabulous book by Keri Smith called The Guerilla Art Kit- everything you need to put your message out into the world for fun, non profit, and world domination. The first page of this book features a quote by Henry David Thoureau that I want to share.
    "It is something to be able to paint, or to carve a statue, and so make a few objects beautiful; but it is far more glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look. To affect the quality of the day- that is the highest of the arts."
   Recently I came across this blog about guerilla art with a review of this book and lots of great links to other blogs and sites about the guerilla art movement, Enjoy!

Moonlight Madness Collaborative Book Project

   On December 17th, 2010 the 4th annual Moonlight Madness community collage night took place at the Denman Island Arts centre. This is basically a fun, social, 'art jam' where people are encouraged to create a page for a collaborative book. Basic instructions and blank pages were provided along with a variety of art materials. Also, books from the 3 previous years were there to enjoy.
The theme for this years book was "I believe__________"
Thanks again to my co hosts Rox and Kieth, and to LeeAndra for making this an annual event.
Here are some of the pages created this year that will be bound into a book, enjoy!
