I got a message from the printer last night with the following image. Wow … am I glad they caught it. How did that “a” end up on my face??! Probably an InDesign mistake on my side. Well, thank you for catching that, nice people at Global PSD Printing!

Sorry for the delay on setting the next global drawing marathon day, been a little busy with the TFP, but here’s the day finally: Saturday OCTOBER 25th!! Mark your calendars and come by the forums! This is a big one, almost 4 years of SketchCrawling around the world!!! Exciting!

Fantastic post on Drawn.ca regarding Ronald Searle and his process. His Paris Sketchbook has been on my bedside table for the past 2 years. I love to paging through that book. I’ve been wanting to make a somewhat similar book out of my last trip to Japan for years now. Sooner or later hopefully I’ll [...]

Don’t miss this great post from Dice delving into the details of this wonderful forest and what it stands for. The wonderful photo is by Arito Suzuki.

Thanks to Google maps japan this link will take you inside Sayama Forest, the very woods we are helping to save!! Take a virtual stroll and be very sure to keep on walking down the path … after a few clicks as the road veers to the left, you’ll see a very familiar friend. Amazing!

Here’s another watercolor I just finished for the “Forest Hero” tickets goody bag. It’s fun to do these. Sorry for the bad iphone photo, will scan it asap.

Dice and I are gonna try and blog about all that is TFP in the next few weeks of preparation to the auction, since we really don’t have enough to do. So here it is … oh and there’s a TFP blog in 日本語 too. Sugoi desho!
