SIFF is upon us!

Matt and I are avid fans of the Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF) and yesterday we began our yearly pilgrimage to watch movies “’till we drop” for the next month. I decided to try and keep up a sketch journal from this year’s festival to record memories and other fun things.

By its nature SIFF tends to be a “slow down to hurry up” kind of affair. That is to say, there’s lots of waiting and then sudden frenzies of activity before, after, and between shows (we tend to see double and sometimes triple features!)

Here’s my first sketch of the year. It's of the Admiral Theater which is shaped like a boat inside. Very cute! The sketch was done in pen & ink and watercolor.
