Drawing the line about food

Wow, I can't believe Portland has almost 400 food carts!

With all the sketching around that we'll be doing during the Symposium, some of these may come handy for a quick bite. I look forward to trying some of the many ethnic cuisines represented, as well as sketching the carts.

Food Carts Portland has a wealth of information about all the different types of cuisines represented. I already found one that serves patatas bravas.

Meet Wiley author Francis D.K. Ching

Last week we published an interview with Symposium presenter Frank Ching. Today we have a video by his book publisher, Wiley, where he talks a little bit about his teaching career, the many books he has written and the importance of drawing from observation as a communication tool — and you can see him drawing too! The 3-minute video doesn't come any close to the experience of attending one of his classes or sketching with him, but it's still a cool, quick way to meet Frank on the screen before meeting him in person in Portland.
