In 1550, Italian painter and architect Giorgio Vasari published Lives of the Artists, or Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects. His early scholarship in artist biography heralded a tradition in documenting the lives of artists, and creating an “art history”. Escape into Life would like to begin another tradition in documenting the lives of artists, except this time, from the artist’s own words.

We invite artists and writers to fill up a Moleskine journal to display in the Escape into Life online store. The journals are filled with cut outs, drawings, writing, poetry, art, a fusion, a scrapbook of the mind. The Medium is the journal and sold as a work of art.
