So the original plan was to go to a couple
of bookstores around the city and put prints of this sketch in the pages of as many copies of "The
Art of Urban Sketching" as I could find. (Not an original idea, as fans of the Post Secret
blog & books do this too with their anonymous confessions.) It turns out though that none of the
bookstores actually had any copies on the
shelves, so no-go on that idea. Instead I went back to the alley in
Columbia Heights where I drew the original sketch and found some spots
to give them away or hide them for
people to find.
I found a couple of windshields to drop the envelopes. Some that drove off before I got a picture of them, of course not without a few funny looks as they picked up what I left for them.
When I felt like too many eyes where on me to put the last few envelopes on some windshields. I found some bicycle baskets to drop them in. A couple that also came and went before I got a picture off.
