One of the things that I was REALLY looking forward to at the symposium was being able to share it with my great sketching friend Alissa Duke (she is an organiser of the wonderful sketching group that has been forming in Sydney) We got up at 4am on the day when registration opened so we...

A fun filled day, the day before running into sketchers left right and centre and struggling to decide what to do and ignoring a headache(I only remember this part of the day now because I recorded it at the time) All explanations should be on the pages.
