sketch marathons

i must keep art away from my life.
its absolutely essential.
i get terribly moody and cannot focus on my work at office, my mind starts perpetually wandering.

One fine thursday morning I accidenlty stumble across a site, and all hell breaks loose.
Now the entire day I havent been able to focus on anything im supposed to.Am in a totally different mental plane, visions of the animations and graphics haunting me.its like a totally different world, where ur immagination needs nor knows no bound.and there is no stopping to how you express yourself.its like im witnessing a collective pool of human emotions.
I cant even put my feelings in words.and its not entirely cos of my poor writing skills.

One mans passion turns into a cult following across the entire globe.
Man i love it !!!
Enrico is an artist.And he decides to spend a day roaming around the town, documenting everything he sees.In watercolour.Then and there. On the spot.
So he participates in this solo marathon where he spends an entire day just painting , nonstop.In the coffee house, in the bus,outside a book store.
He paints his coffee cup, fellow coffee drinkers, people in the bus, the roads, the buildings, his watch when he checks the time to call quits.
And thus the humble beginings of 'sketchcrawl'.

Next he gathers artists and they have a group marathon.

November 21st has now officially become the WorldWide marathon day of drawing or The Sketchcrawl Day.

And just when i thought I couldnt be more in awe of this guy, ....he works at pixar.
