Any suggestions for London Sketcrawl venues?
How about one of the markets, like borough market etc?
Here is a map of all the markets around the city, maybe we can pick one?


Cheers,

Hi. My name's Chan Ghee. I'm a New Zealand based animator/illustrator. Was wondering if you're doing sketchcrawl next weekend? This is my first time in London, and so I'm keen to meet other local sketchcrawlers

Hi Chan,

I moved your post overhere for greater visibility. We can't wait to see what London UK artists have to share with us (or not - no pressure! )

[ghoobist]

Thanks Gustavo. Let's see how many people I can rally up for this...I hope it's not just me

Screw it. I'll work like hell this week to make sure I can make it. Count me in! So Chan, and Sharada, if you both can still make it at least we'll be 3

Any ideas on where to go? It's been a year since I last did a London one. We did Borough market at the last one I was at but I'd be happy anywhere!

Hi Thek. Cool! I've not heard back from Sharada yet. Why don't we meet at the Giraffe Southbank Centre (http://www.giraffe.net/restaurant/southbank_centre) at 11am on Saturday? That way, we can warm up our sketches at the cafe. My girlfriend is coming along (for support, not to draw hahaha!) We can just go along the Riverside Walk to wherever (London Eye, Tate Modern, National Theatre, Borough Market)...My sense of direction in London is still pretty bad, so if you've any suggestion I'm all game We can always make it up as we go after we've met. How's that sound?

Count me in, too.

Starting at the Southbank sounds good. We can also crawl the Tube to wherever might be interesting, so no need to limit to any one area.

Hey Tom. Glad you can join us Yeah, I like the idea of keeping it open and just going wherever we fancy. I guess I'd better give out my mobile closer to time in case we miss each other on the day.

Well, it's officially a group now, look forward to seeing you all! Really looking forward to it.

Thanks to everyone who showed up this morning: Kevin, Ollie, Tom, Soren, Dez and Becky. It was great meeting everyone. Sorry you couldn't make it, Olha. Would have been good to see you too. We'll definitely try and do this again at the next event. If anyone's keen to get together again to sketch outside of sketchcrawl, please do send the word out. Looking forward to seeing everyone's posts online Hope to see you guys again soon!
