This post was to the EDM group but might be of interest for those who are not members..
While the NYC sketchcrawl was a big success, sadly, I hear from Lindsay Olsen that literally nobody showed up for the Chicago 'Crawl today. Let's discuss how we can set up a more regular and coordinated set of dates and locations for future crawls. Perhaps anybody interested

in crawling anywhere could email one member (if need be, me) and we could see how much interest there is in various parts of the world and then set up a regular (monthly?) calendar. In New York, we are also discussing the idea of having a get-together that is more a social than a pure drawing experience, to share chat, refreshments, and our past journals. Maybe others would like to do the same, particularly in February when it gets very cold.
Anyone want to volunteer to coordinate? Or does anyone have a better plan on how to proceed?
Regardless of how much experience or confidence you have, a sketchcrawl and get together with other draw-ers will give an incredible boost to your incentive and excitement to do more with your illustrated journaling. Join us!
Your pal,
Danny
