A Busy Sketchers' Weekend

It was a busy two days of NYC Urban Sketcher activities. Friday was the Draftsmen's Congress where a group went to the New Museum to be part of a larger group drawing. Saturday was the 43rd Worldwide Sketch crawl through the Gowanus Canal and Long Island City and the turnout was quite large. Check out the blog for more Sketcher posts.

DE-Tour, DE-Tourists and collecting information

The Saturday afternoon sketch walk from South Slope to Greenwood Cemetery looked to explore an area through sketches, words and found objects. During the course of the walk the de-tourists contributed their observations. Thanks to the Detourists: Jason, Mark, Elizabeth, Raquel, Beau, Bryant, Peter, Nate, Mattias, Ben, Krissy, Matt, Sam and Mary. Below the final product, a collage accordion sketchbook with drawings, sewn cards, pine cones, cicads, sketches, maps, clips and wood.
