Happy Worldwide Sketchcrawl day!  We had a great CAM Raleigh Urban Sketching day.  Many thanks to the great sketchers who came out.  $(@TT

A fantastic grant through the Visual Art Exhange involving my students and the uber talented Derek Toomes. Students learn photography, screen printing, Photoshop, public art, painting, composition, and much, much more as they make individual panels for a collective mural to be hung in downtown Raleigh. Special thanks to Sarah Powers, Sarah Hart Corpron, and AdAm Peele. $(@TT

Today my son and I went to the North Carolina Museum of Art. Packed my sketchbook in hopes of having a few minutes to get a sketch in while my son played on his Scooter, glad I did. We found a convoy of beautiful construction vehicles parked, waiting to be sketched, climbed on and played with. My son and I both focused on a small one that looked a bit like R2D2, and was named "RT Wacker". I started the sketch and Jacob quickly took over, putting the water pen together himself and getting right to color, I let him finish it. Passing the torch for the next generation of Urban Skechers.....one "Rt Wacker" at a time. $(@TT
