dinosaurs, vintage cars and cool planes…

2 weeks ago, I participated to the first sketchkon in pasadena organized by the online school sketchbook skool.
imagine 500 hundreds sketchers together during 4 days listening to talks and participating to workshops about hundreds way to fill a sketchbook: urban sketching, lettering, food sketch, live drawing, reportage…
it was super inspiring, a pure dose of creativity meeting lots of old and new friends.
here are some of the sketches I managed to do during the convention, between my "all you can see" workshop, my 2 talks "my life in sketchbooks" and "lost poblenou: a record of change" and my "big head portrait" demo. that was quite a busy week-end.
I would never thank you enough koosje, danny and all the sketchbook skool team for putting together such a nice community!












while in LA, I enjoyed meeting the local urban sketchers such as stef kardos, shiho, virginia or phoebe… we met in zhorian's ranch and downtown:





and why not passing by denver, to teach at the university, meeting paul heaston and sketching dinosaurs?
quite colder then LA over there, I enjoyed the day at the denver museum…






to finaly had a few hours to kill at LAX airport.
thanks shiho for telling me about the proud bird restaurant. the perfect way to enjoy my last hours in the US.

I was an instructor at the 8th urban sketchers symposium in chicago last week.
my workshop "grooarrr! having fun with "sue" the T-rex" at the field museum was a blast, and I'm so happy with participant's sketches.
special thanks to the field museum of natural history and peggy macnamara, artist in residence at the museum, who made this workshop possible.
here are some drawings made during my week in the windy city.
