Built as a clean, modern, and visually rich resource, Sketchbooks.org offers artists and creators a timeless space to share work, discover new styles, and explore the global sketchbook movement.

Cross‑Site Creative Ecosystem
Sketchbooks.org is part of a broader creative ecosystem that includes ArtistEarth.com. Together, these sites connect visual art and creative travel — offering partners expanded reach across multiple creative communities.
Partnership Opportunities
Sketchbooks.org maintains a clean, visually focused experience with no intrusive advertising. Any partnerships or affiliate placements are intentionally minimal, context‑specific, and aligned with the creative values of the site.
Because the platform highlights real sketchbooks, field notes, and the tools artists use every day, product mentions appear only when they naturally support the content — such as materials used in featured artwork, tools referenced in process notes, or supplies that are part of an artist’s daily practice.
As an artist‑run platform, Sketchbooks.org occasionally features materials already used in the studio — from brush pens and inks to sketchbooks, pencils, and travel kits. These mentions are always authentic, experience‑based, and relevant to the post in which they appear.
Types of Collaborations
- Contextual Affiliate Links Subtle, relevant links placed only within posts where a material or tool is genuinely part of the creative process being shown.
- Product Spotlights (By Relevance Only) Occasional features highlighting sketchbooks, pens, inks, or materials that support the global sketchbook movement. These are never standalone ads — they are woven into editorial content.
- Artist‑Driven Features When an artist’s sketchbook or process includes specific tools, those materials may be mentioned or linked as part of the story.
- Creative Collaborations Partnerships with brands that align with the ethos of experimentation, daily practice, and the visual language of sketchbooks.
What We Don’t Do
- No banner ads
- No pop‑ups
- No auto‑injected ads
- No unrelated product promotions
- No sponsored posts that override editorial voice
Sketchbooks.org prioritizes a quiet, focused, and visually rich reading experience. All partnerships must support — not distract from — the creative process.
