Hello Out There!

It has been a VERY long time since my last post. I don't know what happened but it did. The old creative block hit me - hard! All my creative energy was consumed by the computer and there was nothing left for sketchbooks and paper.

The muse didn't give up on me and a scheduled trip to San Francisco coincided with the World Wide Sketchcrawl for Japan on Saturday, April 16. I was able to take a couple of hours to sketch with the San Francisco group at Dolores Park. And what a group it was, my guess, there were at least fifty people sketching around the Mission. Thank you all for your hospitality! And thanks to my husband and family who encouraged "Nana" to go. I'm a little rusty but hope I'm getting back into the groove.






Here are two more from the week.

  2. I'm thrilled to see you posting again. I can relate to getting out of the swing of things and finding it a challenge to restart. I'm also jealous of your venture for sketching in SF. I've wanted to participate in those events... but I'm also a bit lazy. So nice to see the pages that you did!!

  6. I meant to mention that for the sketchcrawl I used a soft cover sketchpad by Elam Books. It has fabulous Fabriano paper. I picked it up in of all places Anthropologie! This may tempt me into trying to handmake one.
