Tracy Bishop and I headed up to San Francisco last week to view the 2011 Sketchbook Tour. I forgot to enter one number into my nav system, so we ended up in the design district, right next to an amazing cafe. We had the best potato salad and avocado BLT on foccacio ever!!! Luckily after some searching, we realized our error and made our way to the studio.
We were a little shocked when we walked into the venue. It was very sterile and we weren't allowed to browse the books. You have to request two and wait to get them. We were so unprepared! It's a good thing that there were two of us to come up with names. We had a hard time remembering more than a few artist's books we wanted to see. Tracy put out a quick call on Twitter to discover some more. If you go — bring a list!

| Jannie Ho's Comic Sketchbook |
I loved holding these books in my hand and seeing the line work! I was surprised how many pages there were to fill! I followed along as Jannie Ho posted her story, but was still surprised how long it was. What a lot of work! If you missed it, you can read it here.

I absolutely love Abigail Halpin's sketches! If I could wave a magic wand, I'd wish for her skills and style. Her book is beautiful!
So cool that you were able to check out the sketchbooks! I never even finished mine... Try not to compare yourself with others, the art you make is all YOU and that is what makes it perfect! :)
