Sketchcrawl 14
Saturday the 19th was the 14th global Sketchcrawl, wherein people from all over the planet hit the streets to draw stuff. This crawl we had a higher purpose, too - raising money for the charity Emergency USA. Emergency is an organization that builds hospitals for civilians in war-torn countries... so we got our sponsors and went out and drew. I don't think Enrico has counted all the sponsors' donations (or the benefits from the following auction), but last I heard it was a pretty amazing sum.
We met up at the ferry building in San Francisco. Lots of familiar faces (Paul shown here) and just about as many unfamiliar faces, totalling about 80 people. Walking down the street with the mob of crawlers was pretty cool.
Looking up the Filbert steps...
On the Filbert steps...
Went to a park near all the Italian restaraunts, but there was an evangelist enlightening us so we moved on to a park in Chinatown.
More from Chinatown - including Ronnie taking photos, James drawing, and probably the rattiest pigeon I have ever seen.
Sketchbooks were passed around at the park... it's always inspiring to see what everyone else has done (and look at the rest of their sketchbooks, what they like to draw in their free time). Also to catch up with sketchcrawling buddies, although the group was big enough that sometimes I only caught sight of someone across the crowd, and never actually got to talk with them or see their stuff.
After the crawl was declared officially over, some of us went out for dinner and to try to find moon buns (??) and arcade games. Successful on one point, not so much on the other. Even without arcade games it was fun, and new people were met and blog addresses exchanged and ... things!
