More info about the Beck sketchel project:

Beck's latest album release has launched some exciting creative collaborations with international designers, including a very conceptual and functional art object called a sketchel, which is a custom bag project created by the Jeremyville crew. the Beck sketchel showcases an exclusive design by awesome French artist Genevieve Gauckler, who also contributed art to Beck's new album sleeve.

After many emails and calls between Sydney, Paris and LA, Beck, Genevieve and the Sketchel crew arrived at this limited edition shoulder bag which is available at the online store at www.beck.com (for U.S customers) and the www.jeremyville.com online store (for Aust / Asia customers).

For avid Japanese fans, a very limited number of Sketchels will be available at each show on the Beck Japanese tour in April 2007.

For those in the know, sketchel is an ongoing collaborative art bag project and gallery that features an original artwork on a canvas panel incorporated within the bag, by some of the freshest, most talented artists in the world today. Some artists include Gary Baseman, Miss Van, Tim Biskup, Saiman Chow, Marc Atlan, and over 300 others.

Genevieve created a design specifically for this project, incorporating her iconic black figures into a Beck landscape on a heavy canvas that is housed within the bag front flap.

Beck sketchels are highly collectible and rare limited run art objects, which also happen to be functional shoulder bags, for a discerning art and music fanbase worldwide.
