The National Air and Space Museum on the National Mall is great, but tends to be a bit too crowded and filled with toddlers sprinting around. The NASM Udvar-Hazy Center out in Virginia on the other hand is a huge facility with some incredibly awesome aircraft on display, and a much calmer space to sketch about.</div>

You could return there a dozen times and never be lacking for a new interesting, fascinating, and awe-inspiring subjects to sketch, from the Discovery shuttle, WWII planes, aircraft from the birth of flight and every era of flight you can imagine. <br />

I had been interested in visiting F. Scott Fitzgerald and Zelda Sayre's resting place for some time, and finally found a good reason to as my sister told me their anniversary as coming up (the couple was married April 3rd 1920). So the first weekend after we got ingredients together for some Gin Rickeys, drove out to Rockville, MD to a small church surrounded by commercial plazas and paid our respects.<br />
We made a couple drinks for F. Scott and Zelda, but already there was a collection of pens, books, stones, flowers and coins left by other admirers with similar intentions.</div>

I'm a little late sharing, but this is a sketch from the tower of the <a href="http://www.nps.gov/opot/index.htm">Old Post Office Pavillion</a> in DC. We headed there for our most recent sketchcrawl (and later found out well we timed our visit, as the site was just a couple weeks away from a major renovation) thanks to the suggestion of Matt Malone.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The highlight of the sketchcrawl was the amazing view to be had from the clock tower, an open air space with 360 degrees of DC around it. It was fricking freezing though, so I didn't manage much more than a few chicken scratches before retreating back to the main hall. I have a few pages of unfinished drawings, but this one I managed to get done after paying it a little more attention at home.</div>

<a href="http://ricardopontes.com/?cat=14">Ricardo</a> pointed out to our sketchcrawl group that <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dying_Gaul">The Dying Gaul</a> was on temporary loan to the NGA, and gathered a bunch of us to go sketch it. While the crowd around the sculpture was deep, everyone found a decent unobstructed view or two to draw from. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cbtribastone/11392840526/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="The Dying Gaul at NGADC by Tribastone, on Flickr"><img alt="The Dying Gaul at NGADC" height="640" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5528/11392840526_a5aed56d65_z.jpg" width="466" /></a></div>
It is pretty interesting how unaware people can be of themselves as the step directly in front of another person looking at the same artwork. I don't mean just those of us sketching (though I will admit it didn't help) but people who will stand so close to the sculpture itself that the 30 visitors behind them can't see a thing. Whatever. At least no one knocked him over...<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">As far as pop culture figures who make good mural subject, DC has a pretty good knack for picking them. Marilyn Monroe, Duke Ellington, Chuck Brown, and Frederick Douglas among others. Well, earlier this season the Dacha Beer Garden opened up with a pretty spectacular mural of Elizabeth Taylor keeping watch over their beer drinkers down below.</span></div>

Part of me just wants to say "presented with no commentary" and leave it at that, but I don't want this to be mistaken for some kind of libertarian protest or a complaint about park rangers like we've seen in the last week. I only felt as though it would be interesting to go check out the Mall and see how it looked when "barricaded". Now, if instead you want take this as a criticism of politicians not doing <i>their </i>job, go crazy. Especially those that instigated the shutdown then shamelessly postured in front of cameras to complain about it's results. Not that I feel like sketching those nincompoops.</div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/craftybastards/">Crafty Bastards</a> was just a couple of weeks ago.

Inspired by <a href="http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~jaw2u/blog/doodles/dc/20120915h-street.html">Joel's sketches</a> from last year, I checked out this year's H Street Festival. Food, weird cars, rollergirls, art and lots of people. Sadly I missed an opportunity to try a faux-cronut, but otherwise a lot of fun.<br />
<br />
I'm starting to enjoy putting sketches together in strip form. It's taking me a little longer to put together and sketch, but I'm diggin' it.<br />

So Baltimore Comic-Con was fun, but the real action came a week later in DC with the <a href="http://www.spxpo.com/">Small Press Expo</a>. If you are into comics, or just art in general this was the place to find every indie or underground comic creator you wish you've heard of. This expo is one of my favorite times of the year, made apparent by how I spent way too much money on art and comics. So as with Baltimore, I thought I would put a page of SPX sketches together in a way that seemed appropriate.</div>

I've been living in DC for some time now, but only in recent years have I started braving the Baltimore Comic Con. Unlike a lot of pop culture conventions, Baltimore is straight up about <i>Comic. Books.</i> A lot of comic vendors, spandex, writers, artists & illustrators, spandex, kids, toy, t shirts, did I mention spandex? A whole lot of fun. So I thought attempting a bunch of sketches on a single page might be appropriate considering the subject.</div>

Sometime late last year street artist <a href="http://hensethename.com/">Hense</a> came to DC to work on a former church south of the Capitol area. The project had some minor controversy over whether this was respectful to the history of this particular site, but nonetheless it's pretty awesome and fun to see up close. <br />
<br />
I certainly couldn't sketch this without involving all these great marks and colors, so it took me a little while longer than usual to finish the drawing. I sketched the basic structure and a little of the surroundings on site, but had to color it at home... after running to the art store for a few more markers...<br />

So as we were Sketchcrawling our way along the National Mall, we caught the attention of a PBS videographer/journalist who was out look for pictures and stories. After a call to his editor, he got a bit of an extension on his deadline to join us on our 'crawl. Here is what he's posted on the PBS New Hour <a href="http://www.inaugblog.com/sketch.html">InaugBlog</a>!<br />

Kind of fun to get a little publicity. Though I never really like hearing the sound of my voice... Thanks <a href="https://twitter.com/PRecord79">Patrick Record</a> all the same for finding us worthwhile of the attention!</div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">The landscape of the National Mall changes quite a bit with the coming of the inauguration. News trucks, t-shirt vendors, security, etc... Though not quite a Tardis, the Police box certainly caught my eye as an interesting addition to the surroundings. And you can't miss the Port-o-potty's, and checking out CNN was just kind of fun.</span><br />

Part 1.<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">For this past weekend, we decided it would be timely to have our Sketchcrawl on the National Mall here in DC, as the Presidential Inauguration is happening shortly. I got there a little early to get a sense of what was around, and there was plenty to see. My first couple of sketches, as I waited for the other 'crawlers to arrive, aren't strictly Inauguration themed, but a couple of scenes of the Mall.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">The East Wing of the National Gallery- in the midst of a face lift.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">And a view of the Natural History Museum from Hirshhorn, across the Mall.</span><br />

So, my friends <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/greg_lendeck/">Greg</a> & <a href="http://www.cueartfoundation.org/yayoi-asoma.html">Yayoi</a> and I work together over the summer at a fantastic high school age arts program called <a href="http://www.oce.nysed.gov/nysssa/SVA/">NYSSSA</a> (send your kids). They also wisely use their free time there to make beautiful spontaneous collaborative drawings and paintings together. Of which I am invited to participate in, but am usually too worried that I'm going to ruin what they've done. <br />
<br />
Now, Greg and I have often talked about working on some sort of project together, but we have both been a bit busy to start anything. He more than myself. So as the year came to an end I thought I'd try and put the beginnings of a drawing together that could perhaps bounce back and forth between us. Being the cautious type I started two drawings so I could senf him which ever i thought turned out best. Which frankly just made things harder, as I couldn't make up my mind. eventually I thought "Hey, I should send Yayoi one of these!"<br />
<br />
I then proceeded to spend a day or two flip flopping between who would get which one.<br />
<br />
Anyway. I thought I would post these, as some small way to <s>pressure and manipulate </s><i> encourage</i> them to continue the drawings!<br />
<br />
Greg got this one.<br />
