I heard of an experiment that someone was doing in San Fransisco which they dubbed a "sketchcrawl". The idea is to go out and draw for an entire day everything that you do or things that you see as you go along. I was inspired and intrigued by the idea so I decided to plan one myself! I urge other illustration readers to plan one in their city. It's a great way to meet other aritsts in their community.
EDMONTON SKETCH CRAWL
(18th international)
SAT, MARCH 29th
11am
STANLEY A MILNER LIBRARY, Down town
(in the entrance if it's terrible outside, outside if it's glorious!)
Here's what the founder had to say:
"The basic idea: to record nonstop everything I could around me with my pencil and watercolors. A drawn journal filled with details ranging from the all the coffee I drank to the different buses I took. After a whole day of drawing and walking around the city the name seemed quite fitting: “SketchCrawl” - a drawing marathon. The crawl was more tiring than I imagined but also more fun and exciting than I had thought. Giving yourself this kind of mandate for a full day changes the way you look around you. It makes you stop and see things just a tad longer, just a bit deeper … needless to say I loved it.
I soon figured out it was much more interesting to do the marathon with a group of artists instead of all by myself! And so SketchCrawl turned communal. After a whole day of drawing it proved to be amazingly interesting and inspiring to share and compare other people’s drawings and thoughts. Different takes on our surroundings, different details, different sensibilities.
The next step was making the SketchCrawl a World Wide event: having people from different corners of the world join in a day of sketching and journaling and then, thanks to the Internet, having everyone share the results on an online forum.
Hope to see some of you out there!
I've finished the November Drawing of the Month, but it's still drying and unscanable. That's a word? I'll post the drawing this evening, because I know each and every one of you spends Friday night looking over my blog waiting, waiting for a new post. Forget friends and family!
Either way, you might consider checking out the
Max and Pinky e-card while you're waiting. Send one to yourself so you can play the marshmallow gathering game, or send one to a friend to help hone their ability to procrastinate. It's stressful but nutritionally fulfilling. And let me know your high score!
Your bud,
Maxwell
Hey you!
Don't forget to sign up to win the October Drawing of the Month! It's Pinky on a hill (or something). Come to think of it, I guess I should have had a Halloween theme since the drawing will be drawn at the crack of dawn right after Halloween. That was dumb, and I apologize. But despite this little set back, sign up and win!
Click
here to see how it's done!
And, by the way, I'm usually a touch slow at posting the newest Drawing of the Month, but I'll be announcing the October winner tomorrow morning!
Your bud,
Maxwell
Ok, I know we're almost halfway through October, but here, finally, is the October Drawing.
If you've already entered to win this month, you're all set. If you haven't? Well, let's see some enthusiasm! Click here and see how it's done!
Your bud,
Maxwell
By the way... winner of the September Drawing was Lauren of Dover, Minnesota! Congratulations, Lauren! She'll be joining the ranks of such infamous winners as Jenna of Ohio, Mathieu of Virginia, and Jeremy of Oregon. Whoa, Nelly!
For those of you who have entered to win in the month of October, I'll be posting the drawing later tonight! And if you have not yet entered, just click here to find out how it's done!
Your bud,

I've been lame this week and let days go by without sketches. But it's only because I've been busy busy. I'll be posting again later this afternoon.
And don't forget to enter the
August Monthly Drawing before tomorrow for this drawing of the pig and the bald kid (Max and Pinky)!
Is it August already? Then where's the August Drawing? Three days late! I tried my best but the washes were bleeding and they weren't drying because of this crazy heat and humidity. Shoot, now you can track me down based on nationwide weather trends. Or you can just check the back jacket flap of Best Buds. Nevermind.
By the way, these little sketches are usually 4x6 or 5x7. I hope the winners don't sit at home waiting for their poster-sized Polar Bear to arrive and say, "Wait, all he sent was an envelope? What's in this... hey! What the? It's the size of a stamp! That Eaton cheated me! It's a scam! Ooooo, you'll get yours, Eaton!" Or something like that. Good luck!
The July Drawing winner was just randomly selected, and it is Jeremy from Portland, Oregon!
You know Jeremy? From Portland, Oregon? Come on, you've met him a million times! How can you forget? Geez!
Anyway, congratulations, Jeremy, and thanks to everyone who entered!
Now don't forget to enter again for this month's drawing. The last coat of wash is drying on it, so I won't be able to post it until tomorrow. But be sure to check it out!
It's fun, it's free, and it only costs the author postage. Everyone's a winner!

By the way, for those of you who signed up for the July drawing.... I'll be randomly selecting and then posting the winner later today. And if you aren't a winner this month, be sure to try again!
Hey!
I've been lame and haven't posted a sketch since Thursday! But not to worry! I'll be back tomorrow with a new drawing.
And speaking of drawings... don't forget to enter this month's Drawing Drawing. Just send an email to [email protected] with the subject, "Drawing" and you're all signed up! Just one more day to win a sheep. Check it out here http://www.maxandpinky.com/drawing.htm
Well, I better get going. What do you think I do, write letters all day?
Your bud,
Maxwell
I spent quite a lot of time one morning gathering marshmallows. Unfortunately, since my eye-hand coordination sucks, I only got Pinky 27 before the people that pay me to do their work got upset.
Tell them you're doing "Market research." Nobody ever knows quite how to read that.
