A blog about writing, sketching, running and other things
Zebra disposable brush pen on a Field Notes Signature sketchbook. I only use one side of the page with these sketchbooks and you can see why. Even doing that doesn’t prevent the sketch on the following page from showing through.
I’m currently a third of the way through Italo Calvino’s “If on a Winter’s Night a Traveller” and I love his descriptions of reading experiences.
Field Notes Signature sketchbook and Tombow Mono 100 F pencil. The Seed Radar eraser did the not so fine job of erasing a few lines.
Listened to My Brother, My Brother and Me episode 424 today and was inspired to draw this:
Pizzaria seagull and octopus, both incredibly wealthy.
If you aren’t listening to MBMBAM yet, I highly recommend it, and this is an excellent episode to start with.
Saw a little brown bird lying still on the road on my way to work. It was alive but appeared stunned. I gently picked it up and moved it to a large planter, away from the road and the cars. Came back later with some water for it but it had flown away.

Back to Jaffa’s flea market this time, though I hadn’t much time to draw too many people. Every sketch here was done in two minutes or less, as the subject was moving.
As I thought, yesterday was a busy day and so I had very little time to draw. Went to the Olamot Sci Fi and Fantasy convention and managed to get a few quick sketch in though.
Today, day 2 of the one week 100 people challenge, I went out to Jaffa’s flea market and Ben Gurion Blvd to capture as many people as I could in as little time. I’m starting to get a bit more comfortable drawing these quick sketches, though I’m still not comfortable staring at people directly as I draw them, which makes life a bit difficult. I’m up to 48 people (though there are two sketches here that I don’t plan on counting if I can), which is good, though I have less sketching time tomorrow, so we’ll see how it goes.

We found a skeleton key, to go with last session’s skeletons:
And a rotting, not at all suspicious satchel:
First try — expect improvement.
