get very crowded, so if you want to find me, just text me. (407

bite to eat at Panerra’s (North East corner of Lake Eola park across
the street) or the food Court under the huge Live Oaks at Lake Eola’s South East entrance..
The basic idea of a sketch crawl is to record nonstop everything around you with sketches. Then artists share their work at http://www.sketchcrawl.com/ and you can see sketches from around the globe.
