Lecture 1: Drawing for Publication: The Triumphs and Tribulations of a Newspaper Sketch-Columnist

Speaker: Gabriel Campanario (USA)

Location: National Design Centre – Auditorium

In this talk, I’ll give you a behind-the-scenes look at the planning and editing process I follow to draw and write my weekly Seattle Times column, Seattle Sketcher (http://seattletimes.com/seattlesketcher). For example, I keep a spreadsheet with hundreds of contacts I have accumulated since I started the column five years ago. I also follow many neighborhood blogs and local Twitter accounts to find ideas of people and places to sketch.
