Jolby is the collaboration of two amazing artists, Josh Kenyon and Colby Nichols. They recently held their first solo show in San Diego called "Home is Where you Make It." The work takes us on a journey of a boy who after suffering a great loss, leaves his familiar town of Seaside to discover what home really is. The story is inspired by the artists' pasts and deals with their own recent life experiences. Each piece is vibrant in color and pattern and it made me want to jump out of my chair to show them off.

Brought to you by the fine people at the Art House Co-op, the Sketchbook Project incorporates the art of more than 2,500 participants and is currently on tour in a city near you. A simple concept that has rendered amazing results and an awesome exhibition. Art House sent out sketchbooks to artists from all over the world, they made art and sent the book back. Today in Philadelphia, then Boston, Chicago, St. Louis, Brooklyn and Atlanta (click for location and times). If you can't make the show, there's over 3,500 photos available online.

Julian is a new friend of Doodlers Anonymous and recently participated in a live drawing event at Telford's Warehouse in Chester, UK called DoodlePlanet. I love events like these, that do nothing more than promote art and fun. See for yourself (photo set at flickr).
