Phew!
Phew, been a bit of a crazy month. Really busy, forgive me the hiatus from the blog. Work has been in crunch mode for weeks and on top of that I decided to make a new small book for comic-con. Things are starting to slow down again now and I can finally take a moment to write.
World Wide SketchCraw #3 was really great, here in San Francisco we had around 40 people joining in and it was an amazingly beautiful day out. Be sure to check the results in the forums, plenty of beautiful sketches from all over the world. Here’s some Cairo crawling for you for example. And Ronnie’s awesome sketches and thoughts from the WWSC#3 are here.
The SketchCrawl t-shirts seemed to have been a hit and it was pretty awesome to see our colorful group meandering around the city. If you want to purchase a t-shirt and support SketchCrawl.com send me an email. I’ve been taking internet orders with Paypal payments ($15 US, $18International). Or you can come get one in person in San Diego next month.
Next for Ronnie and I is Comic-Con, we’re starting to get ready for that … Mr del Carmen has a wonderful little Paper Biscuit treat for you all and I’ve been putting together a small color book with some of my watercolor comics and sketches (which is now luckily off into the printers’ hands, more info on that later…). This year we are sharing a booth with Nazismasher Bill Presing and we’ll be in good company with the Flight and Nucleus Gallery right by us. The other exciting thing for us is seeing many of our colleagues and friends getting ready with their own respective books this year. Louis Gonzales, Sanjay Patel, Ted Mathot and Mark Andrews to name a few. So while Ronnie and I were a little burnt out last year, we figured we couldn’t miss San Diego this July, it’s gonna be a lot of fun.
Here’s 3 photos from SketchCrawl day: they were taken at the San Francisco Art Institute on Chestnut street. The kind of art school (they have a huge Diego Rivera Murales) that makes you want to be a student again.
