I really enjoyed the latest crawl. The locations have been good, but as always, it's the people that make the time worthwhile.

First "results" post, here: http://www.sketchcrawl.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=3592&start=15#p17222 To continue the tradition, here's the results topic. I spent much of my time chatting and trying to think of cool places to go next, but I still got some nice images from the craw...

So it's settled. Start crawling with your pals wherever and whenever. Meet Union Station at 1:00, if you fancy, at the benches outside the tunnel at the back of the lobby. From there we'll split up, to crawl the most territory, and reconnoitre at Won Kok at 6:00 to share sketches and platters of foo...

Maybe we should just wander the Red and Gold lines independently and meet for dinner. My only concern is that we'll all end up in different train cars all day and only hang out at the end. How about this: we have a suggested meeting time at Union Station, say 1:00, so anyone who has been lonely in t...

April 11th has been set as SketchCrawl 22. A Metro transit crawl seemed popular last time. Gold line was mainly being discussed (SoPas, Chinatown...), but for passenger drawing, the subway usually offers the most variety. Maybe we could arrange a whistle-stop tour and gather crawlers along the way. ...

I guess I have to. I had fun, but I look forward to lots and lots of practice! http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3338/3191047457_bc7d1fc770.jpg?v=0 http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3087/3191047229_69842d9dac.jpg?v=0 http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3504/3191894518_7583fcc7c9.jpg?v=0 http://farm4.static.fli...

I mentioned at the crawl that I use a semi-glove with my Wacom. It's called a SmudgeGuard (http://www.smudgeguard.com/).

I figured the "crawl" was from one point and then wandering around... on foot. My only crawl was at Fisherman's Village, and pretty much anywhere has a broader space than that little strip. Still, it was worthwhile. I'm all for wandering off the mall. I don't like malls, in general, but th...

I just read Enrico's RSS feed today and I think that the SF crawl has a really good idea. Meet at the end of the crawl when everyone's tired, have a good meal and some drinks, and tell stories from our drawings. Sounds lovely, doesn't it? Our city may be too poorly connected for several different tr...

I vote for the Americana mall in Glendale. I'm looking at photos and I can hardly believe it. Neat buildings and a trolley.

I have a membership to the L.A. Zoo, and two guest passes. Maybe not this time around, since it's a little isolated and people are feeling social and let's-have-dinnerish. But I suggest that we make the zoo a sketchcrawl destination one of these days. I haven't been there in a few weeks. Alina, does...

Here are some contributions from me, in chronological order. My favorite is my third, the little vignette of the bike. http://www.chrislovejoy.com/content/sketch/SketchCrawl%202008%20October/Lighthouse.jpg http://www.chrislovejoy.com/content/sketch/SketchCrawl%202008%20October/Trawler.jpg http://www...

I've never been to Fisherman's Village; it sounds like an ideal spot. I travel by train, bus, and bike, so it'll take me about two and a half hours to get there. Is anyone driving from/through Pasadena or downtown LA? A carpool would be lovely.

I go to Little Tokyo frequently, or rather, I go through it. So my impulse is to go somewhere new, but a day of sketching would reveal things I hadn't noticed, I'm certain. Citywalk would be good for the people, but I fear it would be too restrictive for a whole day. I'll come back with some useful ...
