Sketch 4 Sketch at Upper Playground

On Saturday a friend turned me onto the Sketch 4 Sketch that was happening at Upper Playground.  This is basically where a bunch of established, brilliant artists sit behind a table and will trade a one of a kind original sketch for your own original artwork.  The artists in attendance on Saturday were Alex Pardee, N8 Van Dyke, Dave Correia, and Jeremy Fish.
This whole experience was a blast!  Yeah, I had to wait in line for around 3 hours and Jeremy Fish had to take off just before it was my groups turn.  BUT we did get the chance to meet and hang out with some great new, like-minded friends while we waited in line and drank tall-boys;  And the hype-man/line-tamer was genuinely entertaining.  Not to mention I left with three original sketches from some great artists at the cost of trading some prints that I made a while back.  All in all not a bad deal, check it out:

A little less original(I definitely saw some other people with very similar sketches from him) sketch, but still very cool, from N8 Van Dyke

Couldn't avoid dropping a few bucks for a limited edition print too
