Got to see the Arizona Wildcats play the Michigan State Spartans for the Armed Forces Classic this afternoon. What an exciting game! I mostly sketched during halftime or whenever a timeout was called… otherwise I was cheering. You might be able to tell who I was rooting for. :)

Hope to see you at the next event on Sunday morning!

Sketched my polling station this afternoon. I still find it exciting to go to the booth to cast my vote.

Celebrating Arbor Day!

I got up early for the tree giveaway at McKinley High School this morning. They passed out a few brochures (one with a bonus salad recipe on the back) and also a cute quiz to complete while I waited in line. That meant I had a pencil and paper in hand… so… what did you expect? :D

Halloween!

Although I did not participate in the tricking or the treating, I did enjoy sketching the various monsters that passed me. I had to be quick. These sketches took me anywhere from 10 seconds to 2 minutes, so I had no time to groan about proportions. And it also meant I ended up sketching more parents than kids –– they move a bit slower :). Hope everyone had a fun Halloween!

Kawaiaha‘o Church

It was a day full of pleasant surprises. The heavy clouds of the morning gave way to a partly overcast afternoon; the two weddings scheduled for today at Kawaiaha‘o Church wrapped themselves perfectly around our event; and the simplicity and timeless architecture of the church (inside and out) was admired by all. A great day to sketch – photos below.

Regalia were as stunning as the distances travelled by the participants (from mainland USA and Canada). The drumming was powerful, physical. People were enthusiastic to share their culture. Fascinating, entertaining, educational: an event not to be missed. (But the line to buy frybread was looong.)
