Make Friends Not Photos

I have discovered that I can make friends simply by sitting in a park and drawing. This is a good thing since I don't drink. In fact, it brought abut a revelation: Making art in public spaces makes you cool.

At the beach, when you make a really neat and complex drip castle, people walking by notice enough to comment. In the park, when you're sketching with an ink brush, people walking by notice enough to comment... in Italian.

Then they offer you food, and invite you to partake in their picnic birthday celebration. Then you get to draw ink sketches of them, and pretend your on a photo shoot as they model for you.

But when you're just walking around with a camera, legitimately "making art"; you're labeled as a creeper. People don't gather to see your photos. In fact they usually ask you to delete the picture. Nobody asks you to erase a pencil sketch.

Anyway, here's photos from week 8, and Spring Break part one.

EDIT: Spring Break part two.
