Sketching at Urban Ore

Sunday, September 05, 2021

Okay, let's face it - we all came for the toilets. 😂 So. Many. Toilets. And bathtubs and sinks and doors, oh my! Yesterday's sketch outing with SF Bay Area Urban Sketchers was at the salvage yard Urban Ore in Berkeley, CA. What a mind-blowing assortment of goods. There was nearly too much to take in, but it was good practice for narrowing focus and being selective. I decided to draw a few different subjects - from wider shots to pattern-forward abstractions. Featuring, naturally, toilets. 210904 Urban Ore with SF Bay Area USK 4 210904 Urban Ore with SF Bay Area USK 3 210904 Urban Ore with SF Bay Area USK 2 210904 Urban Ore with SF Bay Area USK 1

Yeah, it's been a while! Was toying with the idea of moving this blog to another platform, and then the pandemic happened, so I mostly focused my efforts on Instagram. But I've realized that no matter how few people read blogs these days, it's still helpful as an archive for me. So I might populate the missing months, and in the meantime, I think I'll start posting here again.
