World Wide SketchCrawl #4
So … the next World Wide SketchCrawl is scheduled! Saturday August 27th it is and it’s gonna be in memory of our talented friend Dan Lee, we miss him dearly and we thought it’d be great to go about town and draw away thinking about him … he was an avid sketcher himself and I am sure he would’ve joined us Skechcrawling around. On that same week The Canvas Gallery and Cafe is gonna host an exhibition/tribute (thursday August 25th) featuring Dan’s sketches and some of his friends’ work as well. The artshow also serves as a book launch for “In your face” a beautiful book filled with Dan’s drawings, don’t miss it, the proceedings will go to charity. Check this blog for all the details.
So … we plan to finish the crawl at Canvas to see the exhibition, plans and itinerary for the day are still in the making … keep posted on sketchcrawl.com for details. As always we welcome all your help in spreading the word and be sure to come by the forums to organize and gather artists in your area. Join us in the 4th international drawing marathon, wherever you are!
The 2 weeks I just spent in Italy were relaxing and fun. It’s been a long long time since I got back home during summer time … it really has a whole different feel, much more nostalgic than usual. The summers of my childhood are clearer and sweeter memories than most. I was very thankful to have time for family, beautiful beaches, sand and waters and also time to read. A couple of books I finished and would heartily recommend: Dave Eggers – You shall know our velocity! and Banana Yoshimoto – Hard boiled and Hard Luck. A book I bought and look forward to reading: Takeshi Kitano – Asakusa Boy (a biography of the famous comedian and filmmaker. In italian, not sure if it’s available in english).

PS – One link I forgot to write about regarding the CON. Emotioneric.com, one of our neighbors at the booth, Eric has a unique and funny as hell website … and, ahem, face as well. Also one new and not to be missed CON report from Kean, here.
