Got to make it out to Enrico’s and Ronnie’s Sketchcrawl this past Saturday. I hadn’t attended a Sketchcrawl since number 2! Wow, long overdue for me, but it was great to be out there.

This crawl took place in Portsmouth Square in Chinatown of San Francisco, and it was a fantastic spot for characters and architecture. Check out the Sketchcrawl forums to see more work from artists all over the world who were all out sketching on the same day! It’s incredibly inspiring to see other people’s work, and knowing you’re part of a world-wide community of artists! Thanks to Enrico and Ronnie for organizing such a great phenomenon. Join us next time, wherever you are! They take place about every two months or so.

Enrico Casarosa is the architect behind this very cool premise. On Sunday, March 6th, artists from all over the world will meet, wherever they are, and spend the day wandering through their city, documenting their day through drawings. People post their drawings to the site when the day is done to share with everyone. Now, artists generally take their books out to draw on their own, but this is an actual organized event that will happen simultaneously in several different countries. How Enrico got this to be an international event I have no idea, but it’s probably the coolest thing ever. And a great way to make artist-friends in your area!
