MyIdeasBook - An online 'sketchbook'  and space to bring together your images, words, links, notes and musings, accesible from any connected screen.  Just the type of workspace you, as a connected artist, might find brilliantly practical.

If you are anything like us, being creative in front of a computer can be fast, fun and frustrating.  Stuff everywhere, files in different folders, links to brilliant websites spread across the hard disc, photos in iPhoto, some in folders, some on that other hard drive, some in the ‘cloud’, bits of text and clippings all over he place... And we are organised!!

So how about a site which wants you to be creative and provides you with a space and structure to do just that?  Enter MyIdeasBook.com, and their online sketchbook, which was launched recently.  The idea is that you have an online, private space, to gather material, reposition it, annotate it and be inspired to do “things creative”.  Now, that will mean a lot of things to a lot of different people, but this is a great idea put together by artist Binita Walia and some visually sensitive web developers.

What is also interesting is that there is “connection” here.  Once registered, you have access to other users of the service (the community) and can have a peek at what they are up to - that might be just enough to give you the confidence you need to do what you were going to do anyway, or provide you with some unexpected inspiration.

We always love it when artists put things together like this - and are able to produce something visually beautiful which actually works.  Think of this as a private, online, sketchbook, which you can ‘get at’ from any connected screen.

Give it a go.
