Rowan Blanchard is Releasing an Art Book She Started at Age 12

When I was 12, my idea of a long-term project was setting up a particularly moody photoshoot in my bathroom with a digital camera that didn't have a screen to show me how bad I looked. For someone like Rowan Blanchard, though, being 12 meant starting a long-term project that has culminated into an entire art book.

OKAY HERE WE GO!!!! For the past three years, I have been making, collecting, and editing various artworks, made by myself and my insanely talented friends (most of which I met thru the internet :D) into an art book with @penguinrandomhouse @razorbillbooks I am so overwhelmed and excited and nervous to present to you guys the cover for STILL HERE, coming to you early next year this is so surreal and is what I have been up to at 1 in the morning alone in my bedroom for the past few years! Ok this is insane! Link in my bio if you want to know more! Ok I love teenagers so much this is for you!! Ok bye I am freaking out!

The now-15-year-old Disney star is no ordinary girl. She's the star of Girl Meets World, an activist, openly queer and has modeled for Kenzo, Chanel and Opening Ceremony. Blanchard is also intertwined in a tight-knit group of teens who are achingly cool and breaking down every barrier imaginable. It's no surprise then, that she found inspiration in them for Still Here, a personal scrapbook that's kept her up until "1 in the morning alone in [her] bedroom for the past few years," according to her Instagram post.

Since the age of 12, she's been "making, collecting, and editing various artworks" created by her and her "insanely talented friends." These friends include the poet rupi kaur, photographer Gia Coppola and writer Jenny Zhang, among others.

Blanchard's book will be out February 20, 2018 but you can pre-order it now.
