The SUMMER of '23 Collection is here!

Call me nostalgic, but I think it's time for a real summer break.  Not like this hurry-let's-plan-a-one-week-vacation-somewhere-perfect kind of break that happens when you become an adult.  I mean like the kind we had as kids.  It lasted for two whole months, we had FUN wherever we went and every minute was spent looking for more FUN to be had.

That's how the sketchboard studio SUMMER of ’23 collection came about.  Simply slowing down to do more of what makes me smile and less time feeling hurried or watching the clock.

What's a real summer break look like to me?

Pool parties where the cannonballs are so big the pool has to be refilled

Listening to music and having random dance-offs

Staying up late to watch movies, play games and stargaze

Whaddya think?  Want to join me?

Obviously I can’t literally give those things to you but I can create art that inspires you to experience them for yourself.

Like my 'swimming hole' drawing.  Can't you just feel the air under the kids feet after he jumps?

 Or hear the waves and the murmur of people talking and playing in the 'sandy beach' drawing?

do you feel the warmth on your skin from a blanket that's been sitting in the sun in the 'nap on the beach' drawing?

 How about the 'Mad Men' retro modern summer feel from 'Poolside'?poolside by sketchboard studio summer of '23 collection

All of it takes you back to the days where time moved at a normal pace, people still made small talk and suntans were earned not bought.  

When you shop the Summer of '23 collection you'll find just the right items to set the mood for your next get together. ‘Poolside’ is available as a 30’ x 40’ canvas if you're looking for the big WOW! effect, there's also party invites, playing cards, puzzles and mugs.

Or, hear me out, what if there was a calendar made for planning summer fun?sketchboard studio summer fun calendar

But this calendar isn't made to keep you on an exact schedule, it’s where you write down all the FUN you want to have this summer.  Pinterest D.I.Y.’s, favorite summer meals, hot dog eating contests, 'Beach Party' movie marathons.  Each week you fill it in with what kind of FUN you want to have and then you tear it off and start anew the next week.  No pressure if it’s not completed, it’s just where you look for ideas when you have that extra day, hour or 15 minutes for some summer FUN.

There’s also bright orange, color-changing tumblers in the collection, perfectly-sized farmer’s market canvas totes, frisbees to toss, coloring books full of original art, notepads and summer fun door hangers!
