I’ve mentioned Roz Stendahl before. She’s the creator of International Fake Journal Month and the woman behind Roz Wound Up, one of the most inspiring art blogs I’ve ever come across. Well, now she’s up to something new. She’s devised a plan to infiltrate everyone else’s sketchbooks and journals. She’s even started a contest to encourage people to draw her.
