Rubin Block Party - Part 2 & People Sketches

Up and down 18th St by the Rubin Museum there were activities and performances...especially for kids. There was a station set up with all kinds of metalware (pots, pans, cups, strainers) and the kids were given wooden spoons to make sound with the objects.


There were performances by Himalayan and Indian dancers. Their costumes were so colorful and lovely. I tried sketching them as they performed on the stage...not an easy task.


Here are more of my sketches for #oneweek100peoplesymposium. This first group was done by the pool yesterday. #35-41 I forgot my sketchbook and had to sketch on a piece of loose paper that had writing on the other side.



These were done today at Alive After Five where we were sketching. Some of the people were watching us sketch and some were other sketchers. #42-53




Finally these are of Zoe and Fantasia. The Sideshow Sketch Night group arranged for them to pose again this year. Zoe has had Fantasia as a pet for 3 years and the snake is 13 years old. She is very tame and feels quite different than you would expect. #54-61

  1. Now you got me wondering if there is an urban sketch group in ATL, you have such fun. Does the tame come from knowing they will get the next meal? What if the snakes just stretches and contracts, doesn't she have any concern?

    1. Nelvia, as of right now there isn't one listed for Atlanta. I don't know what makes the snake tame. The snake moves around but it doesn't seem to contract much...just hangs around.
