still trying to catch up

I started a couple of other sketches on the Friday we gathered in Fremont and finished them later.

The PCC Market in Fremont

after the group broke up some of us went to The Red Door and enjoyed some sun on the patio

Opted for breakfast out on Mother's Day and we went to Americana on Broadway, here in the neighborhood. It was our first time there, the ginger pancakes were YUM and the tin tile decor was fun too!

Joined a huge group of Urban Sketchers last Sunday for a draw in Pike Place Market! It was super busy there but I found a little spot to sit and sketch near the "Gum Wall" looking away from the market. I chose not to put any peeps in there because the constant stream would have hidden the faded posters I was drawn to. anyway

for my second I did a quick pencil sketch and went for the brush. It's kind of like tying my hands behind my back when I skip the pen. 

catching up....

as I related to a fellow urban sketcher today, I enjoy posting my drawings to flickr but I get lazy with my blog posts. I am now going to attempt to catch you up with my urban drawing adventures.

I joined the Friday adhoc group of USk folks at Seattle Center on this day. I think the main attraction was a Cherry Blossom Festival but I set out this morning wanting to draw the outside of the EMP museum.

We got cheap nosebleed seats at a Seattle Mariners vs Baltimore Orioles game from ThreeDollar Bill Cinema on Arts Night. It was a little chilly and not many folks out but we did score free t-shirts and tote bags! Oh and this sketch of course....

Every year we go out to the Good Shepherd Center for the Seattle Tilth Edible Plant Sale. It's very festival like in that we get wrist bands for time slots, wait in line and then people stream in. I only made time for a short sketch but it was my first ever at this event.

Tried to draw this fun little place on a sunny Monday morning but it was closed so I got lucky with a sunny Tuesday morning. Little Uncle Asian is a small walk up food place on Madison @ 15th on Capitol Hill, I was initially drawn to it because I saw a couple eating in the wee dugout space to the right of the kitchen. It's an awesome use of a tight space and even better because because it's next to the Bullitt Bldg !

Which brings us to today, where I met with the adhoc group in Fremont, Seattle, WA. The general theme of the day was the quirky landmarks in the "center of the universe" I think this qualifies as a quirky landmark...The Fremont Rocket @ N35th & Evanston.
