Hi Scribblers,

It’s been quite the week here in NYC.  Hurricane Sandy came in with such tremendous force, I don’t think anyone was prepared for the damage and devastation she left in her path. Our building was evacuated and our lobby filled up with water and could have passed for an Olympic sized swimming pool.   We still are without power or heat. Transportation has been difficult and we haven’t been able to get to the office, so I’ve been scribbling up a storm this week.

I thought I would share this opportunity with you.  The Fowler Arts Collective is putting out a call for art for their upcoming December exhibition. They are asking artists, writers, and designers to send postcard sized works in any medium.  I was inspired to create “Stormy Rays”.  I’m going to color it and send it to them.

Your postcards can be priced at $20, $30, $40, or $50. The artist will gets 50% if the work sells… (woohoo!)  This is a great activity for you to do with your little ones. You can send as many postcards as you want. The more the merrier!

Please have a look at their website for full details of how you can submit your art.

So get your pencils, markers, paints etc. out and start scribbling.

We would love to see your creations.  Please share them with us and if you know of any events that our readers may be interested in, please share them with us too.

Happy Scribbling!!

All my best,

Andi

Hi Scribblers!

Yesterday, May 20th, we had a great time at BayFest 2012 in Sheepshead Bay in Brooklyn. We were getting scribbley with the kids making fun water-themed arts & crafts!

We had crafters of all ages visit our table!

All the crafters really put their heart into the crafts and took time to make some great crafts! Tyree, a young man who loves to make portraits, carefully colored in his boat-themed puppets!

We even had a few crafters come up with their own crafts! Miriam drew a picture of a girl!

Miriam is a young girl who is certainly a talented artist! You can check out more of her art here.

Scribble Town will be participating in festivals throughout the summer! You can find us next at Riverdale Riverfest on June 24th!

Hi Scribblers!

I hope you had a lovely week! The weather was beautiful these past few days and it really put me in a happy mood! This weekend I’ll be out with a few of the other scribblers from Scribble Town to enjoy some more time in the sun while getting scribbley making arts & crafts at Brooklyn’s BayFest!

The BayFest is Brooklyn’s largest waterfront celebration featuring over 25 bands and dance groups, arts & crafts, food vendors and more!

Scribble Town will be at the event making fun maritime crafts! It is 100% free to participate so bring the kids and get scribbley!

We hope to see you there!

Hi Scribblers,

I sat down this morning to work on my Scribble for Scribble Jam and for some reason, nothing was coming to me. My mind was a bit preoccupied and started thinking about Scribble Blog and how we were coming to the end of Clown Week. I picked up a marker, and without even realizing it, I started to draw a half circle. I started trading off with different colors and slowly this morphed into a clown.

Closo The Clown

I don’t really know where it came from but all of a sudden, I saw this odd  little clown staring up at me! I wonder what I was thinking!
