and i think my spaceship knows which way to go

sketchcrawl 31, san francisco

The 31st Worldwide Sketchcrawl happened on Saturday, and I was at the ‘crawl in San Francisco, sketching away like crazy. Whenever I sketch in the city I try to cram in as much sketching as possible, in the most area-covering route possible, which along with the travelling down from Davis is pretty exhausting. I caught the early train, and another Davis sketcher Allan was also there at the station, which was a nice surprise. We rode down together as far as Richmond, and I was able to grab a sketch of him sketching away, and had a look through his sketchbook of antennae which is particularly cool (I want to sketch antennae now myself!). I went on and caught the Amtrak bu from emeryville over to the Ferry Building, where I like to pick up a chocolate walnut brownie (traditional sketchcrawl substenance), and I also sketched the large installation ‘Raygun Gothic Rocketship’, with the Bay Bridge behind it. My son loves rocketships.

And then I hopped onto a Muni to the Mission… more sketches to come!!

    Hi Pete — It was a fun outing to San Francisco. I’m glad I brought my antenna book along; I would have been quite vexed had I not brought it given the great view we had of Sutro Tower from where we were!

      Hi Allan, great to see you on Saturday! Glad I was able to sketch you on the way down. I’ll have to see your sketch of Sutro Tower, I didn’t sketch it but i saw others took advantage of how spooky it loked, with the fog beneath it. Didn’t see you at the end meet-up; it was a long old day, i think i oversketched myself…
