SketchCrawl

Last Saturday was the 42nd World Wide SketchCrawl. Unfortunately, we weren't able to participate in that one, however it was recently brought to my attention that I never posted Billy's sketches from the 40th World Wide SketchCrawl, so to remedy that...:)

For the 40th World Wide SketchCrawl, we decided to make the drive to San Francisco (roughly 2 hours away from our hometown). We started our day with a group of sketchers at the Ferry Building.

Here's some photos from the day...

And of course, some sketches!

Of course, no SketchCrawl is complete without sketching another sketcher...

Sketch by Billy from Japan Town

Because we had brought our young daughter Lily along (she had just turned 1 years old) we had decided to eventually split from the group and we went to Japan Town along with taking Lily to the ocean for the first time, and finally to Union Square before heading home. It was a such a fun, full day. Looking forward to the next one!

And, if any Yuba Sutter area people are ever interested in joining us, give us a call! We'd love to have a local group!

We are really excited to announce that Billy accepted a part time position as a graphic designer for Daystrom Technology Group!

Though Daystrom is located in Half Moon Bay, Billy will be working from home, which means we will still be maintaining the wonderful client relationships we've built through Different By Design.

2014 is already shaping up to be filled with new adventures! :)

happy new year!

Happy New Year everyone! Billy is already bringing in the new year with a bang, trying a different artistic style than his usual...the result? These fun character sketches of our favorite muse, our daughter Lily.

Here's to more change and getting out of our comfort zones in 2014!
