Google Map of Rome Sketches

Sketches - Roma in a larger map

I've been tinkering with Google Maps as a way to document the locations of my sketches, and this is my map of Rome. It shows the sketches that I currently have on my Flickr site, which is only about half of the drawings I've done there over the past four years. I'd like to get all of them online at some point ... but that might take a while. It will be useful for me to see where I have sketched and where I haven't, so I can focus in the coming years on places that I've been neglecting for whatever reason. Anyway, take a look and let me know what you think!

Recent Trip to Washington, DC

I was in Washington for a field trip with a few students recently, and I extended the trip to include some time there with my wife. We met in DC in the early 1990s, and neither of us had been back since. So it wasn't much of a sketching trip, but I still managed a few drawings. The first is from the National Building Museum, the second from Dupont Circle, and the last is a sketch of a sculpture in the National Portrait Gallery.
