Had a fun and tiring time with all the sketchcrawlers of San Francisco. Saw some beautiful sights on the Filbert steps. I'm going back to paint there! We stopped in China town, it was a smorgasbord of wonderful faces to draw. Met a lot of new folks and was really impressed by some of the sketchers. The benefit auction at Maverix was a hoot. Bid wars ensued as Ronnie held on for dear life trying to win the Uesugi original. Lot's o' great art up for bid and for a good cause too. I donated a couple of sketches and thankfully someone donated some cash for one of my meager offerings not sure what became of the other. Anyways, it was great to get out among the masses.
