Yes it’s true, no I am not kidding. Sunday February 19th Ronnie del Carmen and I will be in Tokyo joining artists in a day of drawing. We’ll be sketching with some of our amazingly talented friends there, Tadahiro Uesugi and Yoko Tanji to name a few … I really can’t wait and hope many artists can join us there and ALSO from the rest of the world!

So let’s make February 19th World Wide SketchCrawl #8 ! Sorry about the short notice, but the plans for this just materialized last night.
So help us spread the word, start posting here for people in your area and if you’re in Tokyo come and join us (Details on meeting place still being figured out, stay tuned!)

Hello!
OhKay,
I will go to Tokyo 19/Feb
What time and Where?
I must get a air ticket!

wow, Marty San ... are you sure ? Chotto ... tooi ne ?
I don't have a meeting place yet but we'll probably meet around 11am ...
I was thinking maybe Shinjuku could be fun to draw, though I am not sure ... Tokyo is too big, it's hard to choose ...

Oh kay I reserved an airline ticket now.
I arrive in Haneda Airport at 9:25AM.
11AM Shinjyuku is beautiful!
and Probably 5 or 6 Tokyo DS members including me will be able to join.

capturing the guy playing the guitar.

with leaves.
