World Wide SketchCrawl Tallahassee 11-21-09

Water Under the Bridge by Mark Fletcher

Today we celebrated the 5th anniversary of Enrico Casarosa's World Wide Sketch Crawl with 'Zine artist Jeff Zenick (who was featured in Abstract Comics, 2009). This was the first SketchCrawl in Tallahassee, Florida, USA, as far as I know. World wide artists celebrated a spirit of solidarity and joy by sketching on location. We plan to participate more often since we've been sketch/hiking on our own for a long time. For more info and to see art created simultaneously around the world, please go to Enrico the Creator's site http://www.sketchcrawl.com/.

Jeff and I sketched at Myers Park, met my wife Sara at the duck pond and then returned to Jeff's studio/home for coffee with Jeff's wife, Paula, and more sketching.
