"Look how the floor of heaven is thick inlaid with patines of bright gold. There's not the smallest orb which thou behold'st, but in his motion like an angel sings. Such harmony is in immortal souls, but whilst this muddy vesture of decay doth grossly close it in, we cannot hear it." (Merchant of Venice)

SketchCrawl #38 - Washington, DC

Two days before the presidential inauguration there was a lot of activity on the National Mall.  

Folks hocking memorial magnets ....

and even memorial condoms!  

The guy selling memorial condoms is actually a very cool
jazz sax player from Brooklyn, NY!

I took part in a World Wide Sketch Crawl where artist globally sketch on the same day.  There were about 8 of my fellow artists from the DCSketchbook Crawl who joined me on the Mall yesterday.  

We even got a little bit of coverage from PBS' InaugBlog! (video)
