Day 10

Photo - Sharpie Slam


Waking up this morning I had a plan of hitting up Bitch Bingo at Joe’s (still went) till I was messaged about a sharpie slam! I had no idea what this was but the fact that sharpie was in the title, I had to go! I love being surrounded by art and inspiration.

As a room full of on lookers showed up, we watched four teams dual it out for 70 mins. When starting I was in awe over Team 1 as they sharpied their hands and painted onto the canvas almost giving a watercolor effect but once they started drawing onto their amazing I quickly lost interest and started noticing the others. Team 2 used line art technique, watching them barely lifting their pens off the canvas was really intriguing to watch and had to be my 2nd favorite in the end. Team 3 started out using yellow pen to lay down guides and foundation which a caricature of the two artists formed. But my personal favorite had to be Team 4, at first I really thought I wasn’t going to like theirs and maybe it was because their canvas was offset to everyone else’s but as they drew a bubble cloud surrounded by monsters and random characters, I couldn’t help but fall in love even if it was very close to an already made sharpie commercial.

I honestly wish I was more in the art scene than I am. I love openings, viewing and experiencing so, tonight's adventure was the perfect get away!
