Love this!!! I have never heard of Sneaky Art! I’ll tell my students who draw about it. I love that you draw ordinary people. (Your art reminds me of a grown up Richard Scarry art. He drew ordinary animals doing people things.) Anyway, thank you. I appreciate your talent & work on it. 👍🏼

Thank you, Corrina. While SneakyArt is my brand name, the general practice of drawing people and cities from observation is known as "urban sketching". I speak about it often when I interview fellow artists on my podcast.

Everyone on this site has run a race and watched the people behind them finish. You see every emotion imaginable and there is a story behind every face. I love that someone is capturing these moments in time for the worlds to see. Because it's not the ones that come in first, but those that "also finished" that are the club most of us belong to.

💯 While I do use "other people crossing me" as a motivator during the run, the only person I'm actually running against is my lazy self. I think the great lesson of running in my life is just that - that it isn't about other people.

Maybe one day! And yes a 5k run is the best. I'm almost more fresh at the end of a 5k! :)
