Yesterday (Tues., Nov 18) Urban Sketchers Seattle met at St. Mark's Episcopal Cathedral to see the temporary "Terra" exhibit. It's a 24 foot inflated high resolution globe. This was one of the most unusual sketch outings I've been on. I discovered it via St. Mark's YouTube channel.
The globe was made by Eric Morris of Orbis Globes and Earth Ball. I had a chance to talk with him about it. He also came to look at the sketches during throw down and talked with us, answering questions about the globes he's made. He's made thousands, including for NASA, museums, and the Vancouver BC Convention Center. I prevailed upon him to pose with us for the group photo.
From the cathedral's flyer: "The power of the TERRA exhibit is an opportunity to experience the 'overview effect,' a profound shift in human consciousness previously only made possible by viewing the Earth from space."
Eric is in the middle of the group.
