São Paulo - SP - Brazil

[Montalvo Machado]

Hi all,

My name is Montalvo, posting from São Paulo, Brazil.

I´m getting some folks together to join you all next January 10th.

Our first Sketchcrawling experience will be in a very nice neighborhood called Vila Madalena, that is somewhat comparable to SoHo in NYC.

It is a cultural and social gathering point for many artists and art lovers, as well as those who just want to have a good time with their friends in the galleries, pubs and restaurants that are all over "Vila Madá", as we like to call it.

We intend to meet at "Genésio" at noon, a traditional restaurant where some illustrators regularly meet, start our Sketchcrawling experience right there, registering the folks, food, cutlery and whatever happens to be in front of us, and go drawing our way on the streets of Vila Madalena, depicting houses, people, parallel universes, etc, and meet again in another bar by the end of the day, the "Filial", which is another meeting point, full of caricatures, illustrations and posters from wall to wall, the perfect place to close our drawing marathon drinking some beer, eating "salgadinhos" (our word for salty snacks), and enjoying each other´s company and sketches.

I´ll let you know if other groups will join us in other Brazilian cities and states, ok?

Can´t wait to join the Sketchcrawl, post our images and see yours, from all over the world!

Congratulations to Enrico Casarosa, first for his supernatural drawing powers and talent, and also for creating such a great gathering event as the Sketchcrawl.

I´m glad and honored to be with you all on this project.

Bye all

Vamos nessa!

I don´t think "Vila Madá" is the SoHo.
It´s more like Williamsbourg...

Hi Leo,

SoHo was by my best guess.

Williamsbourg is still on my travel wishlist...

See you soon!

Hi all,

I just saw a post from Nomad Ink, writing from Curitiba, and posted this for him and the guys who will join him in Sketchcrawl:

I'm setting up a group of illustrators in São Paulo to join the Sketchcrawl, and to make things easier I created a list in YahooGrupos (for portuguese speakers), so everyone can plan places to meet, arrange groups to commute back and forth on january 10th, and all that stuff.

Send a blank e-mail to Sketchcrawl_Brasil-subscribe@yahoogrupos.com.br to join this group, no matter where in Brazil you are from.

(Mande um e-mail em branco para Sketchcrawl_Brasil-subscribe@yahoogrupos.com.br para se inscrever na lista dos brasileiros que vão participar do Sketchcrawl, não apenas aos que estiverem em SP, mas em qualquer lugar do país)

See ya!

Oi Montalvo Machado and a hello to Enrico !

Great to see there will be a sketchcrawl in SP. A friend of mine just told me about it few hours ago...so I ll came in to check it out .
Heard it s gonna be in Villa Madalena...I was thinking why not going to the center of Sao Paulo (Centro), there so much diversity there, and it s very representative place of brasil. A contrast between old and new, rich and poor....maybe a good think to share for people who don t know anything about brasil and sao paulo specialy ! Imagine the diversity of the people, the architecture and so on ....
What do you think !??!?

greetings and feliz Natal !

I'll be drawing at Aracaju, Se, because I'll be on vacation.

Alone but ok!

Hi Fred,

This time we're all set up for Vila Madalena. Maybe next time we can choose someplace else.

Hope to see you in Vila Madá in a few weeks!

Bye,

Monta

bom dia Monta and happy 2009 for all crawlers !

Monta, I understand your choice for Villa Madalena...well who knows...next could be Centro !!!

é o dia da minha volta pra SP, sair da rodoviária, passar em casa, ficar só com o material de desenho, e depois sair
Adoro a Vila xD

Só queria saber uma coisa, se o lugar é perto do metrô, e sendo ou não, como se chega lá
