Information:

On September 23rd, 2013, I started my “Library Book Drawings” series. Now and then I will go to a public library and make a drawing of a book on a postcard. I will then photograph that drawing next to the book and post the photo online. (Twitter, Facebook, my website.) I will then place that postcard inside of the book, place the book back on the shelf, and leave the library. On the reverse side of the postcard, I will address the postcard to my PO BOX, affix postage and rubber stamp it with the text “This is an original artwork by David Greg Harth. It’s free. Keep it or mail it.” At the beginning of this project, I will post the photo of the drawing and its location first to twitter. Followed by Facebook. It’s free art. I will do this randomly whenever I can. Weekly (doubtful), monthly (hopeful), a few times a year (certainly), a few times every decade (seems that way).
