Ok, more London sketches posted way after the fact. So if you were reading carefully you will have seen that on a Monday I sketched the Dublin Castle pub in London, and then the very next day I sketched a pub in the actual Dublin (not far from the castle, funnily enough). Well the story doesn’t end there. On the Friday, I sketched another pub in London, this one called…the Castle. Ok that’s enough doo-noo-noo-noo spookiness. This is the Castle in Holland Park. I came down to Holland Park to meet my friend Simon, who lives nearby in Shepherds Bush, and after dinner we came to this pub he told me about a while ago. I’d liked to have sketched the outside but it was too dark on this occasion, so we went in and we both sketched and chatted. I forgot to bring my chessboard; we usually like a game of chess when we meet, Magneto and Charles Xavier style (I’m Magneto of course). Hey look, the pub is on Twitter, according to the sign on the wall.

the return of “let’s draw davis!”
Join us in downtown Davis, CA, for the 45th Worldwide Sketchcrawl! It has been a while sicne I organized a sketchcrawl in Davis – a year, in fact, a very busy year – and so I have decided that this month (the busiest month, no less) is a good time to kickstart the sketchcrawls and join other local sketchers out on the Davis sidewalks!
We’ll meet at Davis Commons (1st Street), by the green outside Whole Foods, at 11:30am. We’ll then sketch in groups or individually around downtown before meeting up again at 4:00pm at the clock fountain at E Street Plaza, to share each others’ sketchbooks and see how we have all interpreted our town..
As always this sketchcrawl is free and open for anybody to join. You don’t even have to stay for the whole time, just come downtown and do some sketching! All you need is something to draw with and something to draw on.
Please let your other local sketching friends know. Hope to see you there!
