A few days ago My wife and I went for the first time to a life-drawing sketch night at the Society of Illustrators in NY ( @soi128 ). I only did one drawing, but it was worth it! ✏️😄 . . . . . . . . . #alejoporrasart #societyofillustrators#sketchnight #lifedrawing #drawing #ink #artist #illustration #sketchbook #draweverywhere #perspective (en Society Of Illustrators)

And turns out, my Refugee Crisis illustration was selected by @latinamericanilustracion to be part of the Travel Exhibit LOS DIEZ, that will be presented in Molaa Museum of Latin American Art, Los Angeles, Casatinta Colombia, Brazil and will end at Photoville Brooklyn, New York in 2017!!! I'm feel honored and really happy about this! Hope my art keeps raising awareness and moving people to action. . . . . . . . . #illustration #ny #latinamericanillustration #aiap #artist #refugeecrisis #scratchboard #socialissue #compassion #losdiez #alejoporrasart #tworiverscreative (en Angel Orensanz Center)

Last night, before the big talk of @latinamericanilustracion , my wife and I got delicious chocolate cookies, focaccia and CostaRican coffee at this spot. So good!! and a nice atmosphere, I particularly liked their wall display... so I drew it. . . . . . . @sullivanstreetbakery #cafe #newyork #ny #sketch #ink #drawing #roadtrip #draweverywhere #sketchbook #bread (en Sullivan Street Bakery)

I haven't used gouaches since I came back from France (shame on me!), but I decided to experiment again with them. This is a wonderful spot from a trail I walked today with my wife. Gosh! I love the colors of this season!!! . . . . . . #nature #draweverywhere #sketchbook #gouaches #painting #illustration #fall #colors (en Gloucester, Massachusetts)

This is what I was able to draw before the cold and rainy weather stopped me.

A great cultural day for me, watching the diversity of the different tribes and nations of native Americans on this festival and powwow. I made a sketch based on their outfits, and enjoyed the dancing, music and stories. Im also glad to know that today Obama put the Dakota Access Pipeline project on hold... if you don't know about it, do some research, get informed and raise awareness. . . . . #powwow #nativeamerican #indiansprings #dance #culture #art #sketch #draweverywhere #alejoenlayunai #diversity #watercolor #draw (en Indian Springs, Georgia)
