What is Sketchcrawl? (http://www.sketchcrawl.com/blog/?page_id=3)
What do you bring to a sketchcrawl? (http://www.sketchcrawl.com/blog/?page_id=4)
To find/start a Sketchcrawl in your area (http://www.sketchcrawl.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=25)
To the Sketchcrawl forum (http://www.sketchcrawl.com/forum/index.php)

The above links should answer most questions anyone would have about the whole thing. I've never actually attended one, but apparently this does happen all over the world with different artists in different cities, towns, countries and it's just sheer luck that I'll be free enough to paricipate. I'm hoping to have things happen at the Met and I'm just sharing as I figured someone might find this of interest. If ya can't make it, no big whoop, apparently you can just sketch whatever and still participate.

[AmishCommy]

so i'm gonna go to the park tomorrow to work on my Thunderdome LMS2 entry. Those of you who know how to contact me are welcome to stop by and hang out and paint along/crit or what have you. I'll be in secluded area away from people close to 72nd st on the Upper West Side. Should be there around Noon.

[blufrogtu]

I can't go today.. I promise to make it next time.

[Margie]

I'm game for the sketchcrawl if anyone manages to organize it. Sounds eggsciting.

[DavePalumbo]

I want to get back up to NY for some sketchin, when's the next meet likely? Arkady, you said that you'd be switching to Saturdays, any word on that?

[AmishCommy]

We switched it up to saturdays a while ago, but sketchgroup kinda died down for the summer. You want to come up on the 23rd and we'll do the sketch crawl? Or if the weather is nice that weekend, bring some paints with you and we'll go painting in the park. Maybe we can rope Greg and Irene to come by as well. It's been about a year since we did the massive Painting Party in the park. I can't think of a better way to commemorate it.

[Snowsfall]

paint party paint party!!

[goldenavatar]

Indeed, it sounds like a plan Amish. I'll be giving the Met a ring tomorrow morning to see about making arrangements for the sketchcrawl group so that folks can bunch up easier on the 23rd, it'll probably happen sometime after 2pm. I'll include info on the painting party in the park(?) for the sketchcrawl folks who'd prefer to paint instead. As everyone's welcome to come, the more, the merrier.

[natsch]

anyone going to Haven on Thursday? I'll be there.

[Margie]

I'll be at Haven, and I'll be at the society of illustrators tonight, and I will most likely be going to sketchcrawl if it's happening. Sometimes on days off I go on a bit of a sketchcrawl myself.

I'm a bit of a recluse, but I might want to join in on the sketchgroup.

[AmishCommy]

Dave just confirmed with me. He's coming all the way up from Philly to sketch at the SoI tonight. Come out and give him a warm welcome.

Nate- i'll be at Haven on Thursday. Missed it last week because of the opening at the SoI.

Margie- we talked about you joining the sketchgroup didn't we? You know you're always welcome. we don't bite.

[AmishCommy]

sorry guys, something came up and i can't go painting tomorrow. plus for a while it was forcast to rain.

[goldenavatar]

Damn, that sucks amish. Good luck with what you've got to deal with, I'll be at the Met anyone if anyone is still interested. I'll be trying to meet up with some sketchcrawl folks in the sculpture garden in the european art & sculpture secton outside that cafe with the French name I won't even try to remember, much less pronounce, unless it's the american cafe...:S

Oh yea, Nate, I got my bike in finally. Expect to start seeing me at those Life drawing sessions real soon.

[Irene Gallo]

[dose]

Hi all

My school is having a student/faculty show in Manhattan next week. I'll have five or six paintings up and maybe a drawing or two.

--------------------------------------------------
Bridgeview student and faculty exhibit at the Asian Cultural Center. Academic Tradition III. Drawings, Paintings, Sculptures.
October 10 - 16. Reception on Wednesday, October 11, 6 - 8 p.m.
ACC is located at 15 40th St, between Madison and 5th Avenue, second floor gallery.

http://www.academicart.com
--------------------------------------------------

[timpaatkins]

Im going to the Met to sketch in the sculpture garden on Sunday if anyones interested and wants to hook up. I plan to be there from around one and forwards.

[Margie]

Anyone thinking of making it to the next sketchcrawl? Dec 9th.

[Art_Addict]

( I copy/pasted this reply from the lounge, hoping to get more responses )

Hi all,

I decided to go to New York for an 'art trip' and travel back and forth Boston,
just for the Sargent paintings there
Now I was wondering if anyone could provide me (travelling alone) with a place to stay for a couple of nights.
New York seems quite expensive, accomodations wise..
I'm easy going, won't cause much of a hassle and can cook a hell of a spaghettisauce
I don't need a bed. The floor, bathtob, couch , whatever..is fine haha..
Also didn't book the exact flight dates but am thinking early to mid november.
( as long as I'm back before the 25th, the NY marathon pushes plain tickets
sky high then )

Eagerly awaiting your reply's.

Tom

[AmishCommy]

do you have the dates set? I used to house CAers because i'm all trusting and all. I'd offer my couch, but November looks like a busy month for me. I'm never home anyways. And i may be going out of town around Thanksgiving time (nov 24th-28th)

you can try a Hostel. Emily G stayed at a hostel not too far from me on the Upper West Side. She did say it was kinda a rat-hole, but it was also $35 a night.

A friend of mine stayed at a Hostel around times square at $45 per night, and it didn't look too bad.

[AmishCommy]

This Saturday November 4th, at 6:00 PM 55 Mercer Gallery (http://55mercergallery.com/) in NYC will be having its openning reception for the uber-talented Melissa Ferreira (http://melissaferreira.net/index.html). Melissa will be there along with her husband (some guy named Jon Foster, people tell me he's famous). I'll be there too, and so should you.

[vigostar]

that gallery show looks like fun!

[grenkahn]

Hey all,
Probably should have posted about this earlier, but it slipped my mind. Too much caffeine not enough sleep. Dr. Sketchy's is this Saturday November the 4th from 3- 6 pm atThe Lucky Cat Lounge (http://www.theluckycat.com/). We've got Lady J returning dressed up as a mexican . Should be tons of fun. Also, The Dr. Sketchy's Rainy Day colouring book is now available for pre-order at the Dr. Sketchy's Website (http://www.drsketchy.com/book.php). It goes into detail about what Sketchy's is, and is a great guide on how to start your own sketch group full of burlesque dancers.
Hope some of you guys will be able to attend!

[Irene Gallo]

Dudes, I actually had to scroll down to find the NY thread. Terrible!

The Society has it's biennial 3D show opening:
Thursday, December 7th.
5:30 - 8:00

Melissa Ferreira and Red Nose Studio are in the show. Those two, alone, are worth coming out for.

Arkady -- If you see the show - We need to look out for good ways to exhibit the 3D work in the next Spectrum show.

[AmishCommy]

i've been meaning to ressurect this thread.

SUBWAY SKETCH GROUP REUNION SATURDAY DEC. 2ND AT THE MET!!!!!

December 2nd was supposed to be my show at Ironworks but that was canceled. A lot of friends promised to come out for the show. So instead i want you all to come out to the Met and hang out, sketch, and best of all, check out the "Americans in Paris" show (all them great Sargents, Whistlers, Eakins, Cassatts and others are on display). I'll be there around 1:00PM.
Dave Palumbo said he'd come up. Scott Altmann said he'll try to come out after 4:00. Cam is coming.




Irene - i'll bug Jeff and Dave to let me in on their 3D displaying secrets :P

[Irene Gallo]

Hey! Gerg and I are going to the met this Saturday with my mom. We wont be able to hang but we'll stop in to say hi.

[AmishCommy]

nice!

[AmishCommy]

so everyone who is planning on meeting up at the Met, i should be there around 1:00PM. I'll head out to the Vuilard show first and then the Americans in Paris. call me up if you can't find me. if you don't have my # check my site.

[ThabisoMhlaba]

awww I missed it...You guys have fun?

[A.Cerasoli]

Sorry to stray from the topic here, but does anyone know of any good Photoshop digital painting classes going on in NY? Thanks!

[AmishCommy]

thursday Dec. 7 is the opening for the Dimentional show at the SoI at 5:30 pm. the show looks great. everyone should come check it out.

[Jibbly]

Alright, So, I'm gonna be back in the big apple from Monday to Friday... Anything exciting going on? =P

[cbalaskas]

Hey Guys,

Hope the recent get together went well. I would love to have attended, but I had to work (retail this time of year is a triathalon).

Anyways, I will relocate back to the New York metropolitan area very soon, and I thought I would post here to see if you peeps had any knowledge of any available jobs or apartments (would consider sublet and room-mate). Send info to: cbalaskas@hotmail.com

Either way, I'll be back around in a matter of a few weeks. Thanks and see you soon.

[blufrogtu]

I'm up for meeting up this weekend. Feel free to PM or reply to this thread if interested.

[cbalaskas]

So what's up? Is this thread and group dead as a door nail or what?

[AmishCommy]

pretty much, Chris.
you back in NYC?

There's an opening at the SoI Tuesday Jan. 30th @ 5:30 PM.

[vigostar]

whats the opening for Arkady?

[AmishCommy]

The Sequential Category of the annual. At first I thought James Jean would be there because he's one of the Judges, but chanses are that he won't fly out from Cali for this. But it should be pretty rocking anyways. If i'm able to sneak out of work for Lunch on Monday i'll stop by the SoI and check out how the hanging is going and give you my full report. :P

[vigostar]

dope Arkady... let me know what the cover and such is going to be... I havent been out for anything in a while and should def. make an effort to... not to mention the SOI jazz nights

[AmishCommy]

as far as i know it's Free until 8:00 PM

[Irene Gallo]

Arkady- You beat me to this..
Free drinks, free cheese, and free art. I'll be there!

[Margie]

I might go for the art if not for the cheese.

[Irene Gallo]

Odd Nerdrum sh ow at the Forum:

http://www.forumgallery.com/current_on1.php?id=179&imagenum=3

[vigostar]

thanks for the info on that exhibit Irene.. Im def. going to chck that one out..

[se7en_]

So do you guys and girls have a regular sketch group in NYC or what? I would def come down and hang with you people. I need to get out of my studo more this year ; )

[se7en_]

sorry for the double post wanted to subscribe

[AmishCommy]

The sketchgroup has been dead for a while now. But we're planning a HUGE reunion/painting in the park party/picnic sometime in April/May.


but if you want something sooner, there's the NYC ComicCon this weekend, and FRIDAY FEB. 23rd HUGE Opening at the SoI. it's $30 to get in, which i know may be steep. But it's worth every penny if you're serious about illustration as a career. Networking GOLD.

[karichristensen]

Yay! The ice is melting. It's almost time to come out of hibernation. I got a French easel so I don't have to paint on the ground.

[Margie]

Networking is only gold if you talk to people.

I would like to go painting in the park if the sketchgroup revives. It sort of died before I got the chance to join.

I'm trying to learn gouache.

[vigostar]

Hey, what time is the con usually over at??

Seven- anytime you want to come down to nyc send me a shout before hand and Im sure I can get arkady to come out and sketch at a bar with us and im sure he can drag along a couple other caers as well...

[AmishCommy]

Networking is only gold if you talk to people. Maggie, i've seen you talk (and i may have seen you smile once too) so i know you're capable of it. I'm not sure what exactly is stopping you from networking.

[Margie]

I'm not sure what exactly is stopping you from networking.

I hope to be someday imbued with such extraordinary draftsmanship that networking won't be necessary.

I'm excited to see the book+ed show though, that category always seems to have such nice things.

[Elwell]

Have fun at the Society tonight, folks. I won't be there, I'm working on the tail end of a nasty cold.
Poo.

[se7en_]

Yeah I wish I could go but we got a studio project that has to be done this weekend. How lame.

Vigo I am definitely going to come down for SoI sketch sessions on Tuesdays. $15 to sketch live models sounds like a good thing to me. Not sure if I can do this Tues. but I 100% in for the following week.

[vigostar]

seven-- Let me know like a week before your going to come down for the Tuesday night session so I can get my lazy ass over there.... Its about time for me to hit one up

[Irene Gallo]

LunaCon March 16-18
http://www.lunacon.org/
This is a small convention in Rye NY, just 30 minutes from Manhattan, with tons of great artists hanging out. So far we have Dave Seeley, Donato, Jon Foster, Dan Dos Santos, Greg Manchess, Tony Palumbo, Tom Kidd, Steve Hickman....I forget who all is coming out. Should be some good times! I'm sure we'll end up with another ruthless game of Pictionary.

[vigostar]

Funk... that Lunacon looks like an awesome event.. To bad it happens to be on the same weekend Im renting a house in hunter mountain... Would have been really cool to do... I guess theres next year

[AmishCommy]

Dave and I rented a room and Tiff is a few minutes away. Romour has it that Cody (Strych9ine) is coming too. Should be a good time.

[se7en_]

I'm in! Just sent in my forms.

In montreal we had a sketching/drinking night at MBs hotel. It was hands down the best part of the workshop. So much fun and a great way to get to know each other. We should try and set up a CA sketch session sometime during the weekend.

I look forward to meeting everyone.

[se7en_]

Is there anyone going that would want to share a room in Rye or Tarrytown? I only live an hour away but I'm not sure I want to drive home late at night. Hit me up.

[DavePalumbo]

LunaCon...Dave Seeley, Donato, Jon Foster, Dan Dos Santos, Greg Manchess, Tony Palumbo, Tom Kidd, Steve Hickman

I don't know if Tony's going to be there, but I will :P Also, the folks are probably coming up on Saturday

[AmishCommy]

is tony in the show?

[DavePalumbo]

no, I think it was a typo. He might come up a day but I don't know for sure

[themissinglink]

anyone that is interested my school, Pratt institute is having their annual Dra-a-Thon April 13th. Its a 12 hour Draw-a-Thon from 7pm-7am. Its $10 if you pay in advance and $15 if you pay at the door. they have i think 16 models all rotating around different length pose rooms. if anyone is intersested or has any questions let me know.

[Irene Gallo]

Charles Vess lecture at the Society: May 2nd

http://igallo.blogspot.com/2007/04/charles-vess-lecture-may-2nd-ny.html

This talk will be about historical fantasy art as it will be about Charles work. I’ve seen it informally - it should be really great. Some obscure stuff that you wont easily find anywhere else.

[timpaatkins]

Hey yall,
As you all hopefully know, the met is opening its new sculpt section on april 20th. I was hoping we could organise something together, and kick off a summer of painting and drawing together ( as im only taking 1.5 creds, as opposed to 21 this last semester...) Maybe the weekend after or something? Im planning on doing a lot of plein air painting, and its always more fun in a group, with a few beers or whatever. I might even try and organise some sort of cityscape beer/barbeque/painting on my rooftop in LES. Ive got a nice view of Manhattan from here. Is there any interest for this?

Cheers Tim

[Margie]

I miss Havenarts. Does anyone know if it's still defunct?

[Irene Gallo]

Quick reminder; Charles Vess this Wednesday.

(See two posts up.)

[AmishCommy]

Also, the Student Annual show should be up by then and the opening for that is on Friday. Come see what we're all up against and help me break some fingers :P

[blufrogtu]

http://www.wonderfest.com/

... sucks that it's all the way in Kentucky. If anyone is thinking about road-tripping there, I'd love to tag along.

[timpaatkins]

Hey there is a sketchcrawl on saturday, meeting at the south street seaport at 11.15 by the big ship.
Im going and im bringing some of you down with me (Nate)!
Make an effort guys, this could be the kickoff of a great summer of sketching together!

http://www.sketchcrawl.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2081
Cheers Tim

[AmishCommy]

I can 1-up you all.

Tonight is 3rd Thursday at the SoI and we have a visiting group from England coming. The last two years it was ripe with drunk British girls.
And Tomorrow Early in the morning the SoI is taking a group down to the Frazeta Museum

[Qitsune]

Any news on the next Art out loud? I'm trying to plan a little trip to NYC for the occasion.

[guggemmaneuver]

howdy NYC,
just wanted to drop a line to say that i'm gonna be in NYC this summer for a few days: Sunday and Monday 29 - 30 July. I spoke with timpaa already but wanted to see if maybe we could get some big sketching party going on one of those days. Not sure what would be best since i've only been to NYC once, but something chill and with lots of people around that we could draw on the DL (or maybe not depending on your stealth and sneakiness level). anyways, i'll be dropping back in closer to time but just wanted to let you guys know i'll be in YR town... 8)

j

[AmishCommy]

I'm gonna be in town on saturday, september 8 and would like to perhaps sketch for at least a little while with you guys. I'm gonna be up there with a friend, but should be able to break away for at least a tiny bit for some drawing good-times. Timpaa, do you still have rooftop access (abcess)? that'd be damn sweet, if possible. central park, what-what? Will definitely be at the whitney to catch the psychedelic art show probably midday? plans a little foggy at this point, but it's coming together.

I'll subscribe to the NY thread until my trip's dates have come and gone.

[hodwik]

Hi! I just moved to New York. As I am out of school, I wonder, how do I find community with other illustrators/art geeks here?

[timpaatkins]

well im going to the nat hist museum tomorrow sunday so if your up for that ill be the dude with the stupid little reading lights clipped to a watercolor pad trying to paint the dioramas~
Im Tim

[hodwik]

Oh, Hi Tim. I met you already actually with Carly at the NH two weeks or so ago. Maybe we can draw together sometime soon!

[goldenavatar]

Anything going on here?

[Eloth]

Hey everyone! This may not be the place to post this, and if not, then I apologize, but I'm considering moving to New York and leaving the Atlanta group. Hopefully I can meet some of yall in a few months! I was wondering if anyone could help me out with where I could find a place to live. I'm straight out of college and was thinking of getting a temp to help me out until I find a decent job for myself. Anyone know of a good place that I could check out. I don't mind living in a closet, I'm more concerned about safety. Anyone know of anything under $1000 in Manhattanish area? Anyways, sorry again if this isn't the place to post this. Thanks for any help.

[timpaatkins]

Eloth, I Pm'd you!

anyone up for some sketchin at the met?

http://www.metmuseum.org/special/se_event.asp?OccurrenceId={5B98D8A0-AB67-4137-8F5E-873FDB82EE73}

[dennistheartist]

Wow I can't believe I totally missed this Thread. LoL Thought I was the only one from New York. Here is my 2 cents. These group have outings/figure studies if you all want to join these groups; coordinate/plan something on this forum someday to sit & draw or paint if you guys/gals can manage to get to Manhattan. There's something going on like every other of week.

http://www.meetup.com/figure-photography/

http://www.meetup.com/nypinupclub/

http://www.meetup.com/gdillers/

http://www.meetup.com/FASHION-FRIDAYS/

just to name a few. Let me know what you guys/gals think.

[nickydraws]

Okay... this is a longshot but here goes.

I want to go to New York for 3 months in the summer of 2011 (End of May till end of August) to take workshops at the Grand Central Academy of Art in Midtown Manhattan.

I was wondering if there's anybody who could help me find a place to stay. Even if just for a short bit. It's just way too expensive to book a hotel for 90 days. I could try to find something through craigslist but it would be a load of my mind if I had something to fall back on. I don't need much, just a place to sleep, hell I'd even sleep on the floor. I'll probably be out most of the time. I'd be so grateful to whoever would help me. I can pay you a bit if you want.. I want to make this trip so badly.

[Ccs]

Woah, when did this thread get here? Are people still doing regular meetups? I was thinking of going to the Met to draw sculptures in January. Anyone want to join?

To reply to Nork- see if you can get housing at a dorm in or near the city. I know NYU and other schools rent out their dorms to students over the summer taking classes or doing internships. You might have to deal with no A/C though. I'll also ask my relatives who live in the city if they know of any good places.
