Friday, July 8

I walked along 3rd Ave. from 21st Street to Battery Park and only got a little sketch out of it.  You can see the Statue of Liberty.  It was a very hot and hazy day, and by the time I was ready to go back it was going to rain:

I spent most of the day with Sam before she got on the train for home.  We briefly went out with the hopes of sketching:

Influentization

On another note, I got a message from someone online:

"I looked at your Blogspot page. It's inspired me to start a sketch blog."

Kinda proud and kinda shocked at the same time.  I can't wait to see what they do.

Just kinda funny: a blog I follow, Urban Sketchers, was featured on another blog I like, Drawn.  I highly recommend both of these sites (to those interested): both feature works from very talented (current) artists from a wide variety of everything art-creation-wise:

Steffi Schutze, Drawn

Way up there on Park Avenue (looking towards Union Sq):

Sam, Emma, and Myken met me at powerHouse: there was an event for a book that had pages from a bunch of artists' sketchbooks.  Some of the artists were there and we could flip through the sketchbooks that they brought.  Then we went out to dinner in China Town at this place called Shanghai Cafe (really good food).  Here are some people (including Emma and Myken) on the sub from China Town to Myken's residence:

Church on 15th (?) Street:

Event at The powerHouse Arena (where I intern... actually, I intern at powerHouse Books).  There was an event where author Gary Shteyngart came to read an excerpt from his book Super Sad True Love Story.  Images from that event can be found here.

Also, I download fonts to do little things for my internship (stuff for the websites and posters, etc).  I realized while making a slider for the Shteyngart Event that I had downloaded two fonts that look almost identical to my own handwriting...
