Books bound to inspire is an SFGate Story on The 1000 Journals Project. It’s part social experiment, part intercontinental art show. It was started in San Francisco by a 30-year-old graphic designer who goes by the handle “Someguy” and finds inspiration in Surrealism and bathroom wall screeds.
The journals have traveled like a modern-day message in a bottle through 35 countries and 50 states. As they have passed from hand to hand, the journals have been hidden in caves, abandoned in airports and used for hide- and-seek.
The 1000 Journals project joins an array of online experiments that promote collective creativity and are linked by a fondness for whimsy and a lack of guile.
