1000 Journals Project

After going to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, I had a dire urge to go to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. And that's where I saw the 1000 Journals Project. This artist, who refers to himself as 'Someguy', who is incredibly fascinated with graffiti art, diaries, and such that he wanted to start this project. What he did was he made 1000 empty journals and distributed them all over the world in bars, on park benches, to friends, for people to write and contribute their own art into those journals. He made a website to keep track of these journals and once they were completed they were sent back to him. Some of the journals were displayed at MOMA and some of the things I read or saw were just mindblowing. These are words and works of art contributed by "normal" people and it was beyond beautiful.

I've decided. I am going to start this with my friends and family. I hope this isn't considering plagarism of the concept, haha. I want to see what inspiring montage of art and words can be conjured up from the people I hold dear to me.
