Sketchcrawl March 17, 2012

On Saturday five of us converged on the Zymoglyphic Museum in San Mateo to get immersed in its wonderful mystical and mythical world. Jim Stewart, the curator of this unique space made us welcome and shared his enthusiasm for a project that has been almost 30 years in the making. We all enjoyed sketching something that was out of the ordinary!  We thank Jim and Judith for giving us a chance to sketch this collection of curiosities and oddities. 


Check out some of the collection at http://zymoglyphic.org/galleries.html
