When I was a kid I didn't like to eat my vegetables. At the time I didn't see a need for them. I used to joke to my mom that I would catch up on eating all my vegetables at our next Thanksgiving dinner which of course was months away. I understand now that my mom wanted me to be healthy and vegetables are good for me. This segment is about eating your vegetables, well mentally. The vegetables that I'll be dishing out to you are for your own good. It's a dose of getting exposed to something that might be new to most of you, even outside of the usual surf culture. It's ok if you don't like it, but like my mom said,"at least give it a try before next Thanksgiving."
I found a neat way to get my art (and your art) add to the permanent collection at the Brooklyn Art Library, were it will tour in a multi-city exhibition around North America. It's not free but it is not expensive and it's up to you on how cool you want to be, price ranges from $25 to $60 (USD). All you have to do is be part of The Sketchbook Project. This is what they say on their site, check it out:

IT'S LIKE A CONCERT TOUR BUT WITH SKETCHBOOKS
AND DON'T EVEN SAY "BUT, I'M NOT AN ARTIST."
Because we have people from all kinds of backgrounds in our community. From writers, to poets, to photographers, we use the word 'sketchbook' as a loose term for experimentation in creativity. Join tens of thousands of people in this global, traveling art library. See ya'll on the road.
