The Pocket Scavenger

Welcome to the highly inspirational world of Keri Smith. Within the pages of "The Pocket Scavenger", readers will be instructed to collect a spectrum of quirky items: something that is miniature, a stain that is green, something from the year you were born, a used envelope, and more. Then, once their quarry is in hand, they´ll apply an alteration dictated solely by chance: create a funny character, conceal it, add polkadots, remove a section, add stripes, scribble on top, duplicate it (make a copy), fold, cut into pieces & rearrange, turn into an article of clothing, trace it/use the shape as basis for a new drawing, make it ´pretty´, and so on. It´s funny, moving, silly and serious. The way you look at things will never be the same again. Keri Smith is an author/illustrator turned guerilla artist. She has several bestselling books, including the phenomenonal "Wreck This Journal", "This is Not a Book", "How To Be An Explorer of the World", "Mess" and "Finish this Book", all published by Particular Books.
