Welcome to EMGSketchFest 94!

Good evening to all you creators and appreciators of art! #EMGSketchFest 94 launched its 48-hour journey at 12 PM (that’s Alaska time, counted in unlooked-for flakes of snow) and has sashayed over the past several hours with a bevy of inventive prompts for participants.

We hope you’ll join us – if not drawing or knitting or sculpting, then with breathless anticipation about what delights you might see each time you refresh the gallery!

Let’s have a featured illustration to start us off right:

“Cappuccorvido” by Kir Talmage

Kir Talmage sketched “Cappuccorvido” based around the either whimsical or aggravated prompt “Ravens in the coffee, again!” Her interpretation evokes the time-honored tradition of kafésmancy, where milk foam and coffee grounds spell out the rise and fall of coffee houses and queens. In this case, I think the drinker either might want to hold on to their scarf or perhaps enroll in a night class – “beware learning” and “bird larceny” are so similar, you know.

That’s it for tonight – unless you’re drinking coffee, in which case we’ll keep an eye out for you over at the Sketch Fest gallery for hours to come!
