Dublin Sketchers get together every Sunday afternoon in Dublin to sketch. We go to a different place each week. Check here before hand to see where we are off to. Come along if you fancy it! We start sketching from 2pm and meet at 4pm for a drink and chat. We are part of the global Urban Sketchers community.
Lets have a go - the Luas Rail Art Competition - closing date Oct 31st 2008 - this fri
OK if you need more details go here http://www.culturenight.ie/listing.asp?id=4
Sorry for late notice but I only heard about it this weekend - if its any help last years winner did a poster depicting the luas passing by the four courts based on a graphic style of the 1940's encouraging people to use the luas to visit the city of Dublin - looks as though it was done probably through a vector based programe like adobe illustrator - not a criticism just an observation so you can picture the level of polish involved in that winning entry but it didn't leave room for a more human touch, a more human line...
So yes it's a good pic and yes it was run through a computer so they had a particular computer based style, shouldwe fear a computer,no, I say go for it with or without a computer - but get a good diguital pic of whatever you decide to do and send it in.
They require both a portrait and landscape compatible format of the same picture. Details of the rules can be found thru the link http://www.culturenight.ie/listing.asp?id=4. G'luck.

Some stuff from Jazz festival this Sunday in Cork
A few posts all in one go from last few days. One is of the Mary Stokes and her band - they do great blues and were down in the Guinness Jazz festival on Mon 27th of october 008 in the Metropole hotel so I did this pretty quick while they were playing. The other two are for a big dragon motif at the back of a big dance hall for part of a swing event in the Guinness Jazz festival. more stuff coming during the next week.
Christmas card making
would anyone be interested in having a christmas card making session at some stage before Christmas? I love making my own cards and we could get great ideas from each other, and maybe make cards for birthdays etc ...
All we need is a venue.

Sunday Venue - GPO- 26th October
The GPO is an interesting old building structure with the famous statue of Cuchulainn by Oliver Sheppard in the window of the GPO which commemorates the 1916 rising. There are also 3 other statues on the top of the GPO representing Fidelity, Hibernia and Mercury. There are some nice large paintings, old counters. The staff and queues of people waiting for stamps will make for some interesting sketches. Its located in the centre of O'Connel street, and is open until 6.30pm.
Meeting there at 1pm.
All new people welcome!

Suggested meetup for sketchers staying in Dublin for the 19th October 2008 - Peoples Park - DunLaoghaire
Unless people have another idea - there is so much going on in DunLaoghaire usually that it seems a safe bet - I propose meeting up at the coast road entrance to the peoples park at one pm Sunday 19th October - other suggestions welcome before this friday
