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.
