Ancient Mayan Exhibit


Enjoyed a short lived drawing trip to the ROM today to see the Ancient Mayan Exhibit. It was really cool until 20 minutes in when some security guard named Steve decided drawing was no longer allowed and asked me to stop. I only went there in the first place to draw so I left the exhibit 1/3 of the way in and demanded a full refund which I promptly received. All in all is was okay. Got these drawings out of it anyhow! Good times.

  1. Those sculptures are pretty cool, nice drawings, Mark.
    As for not being able to draw, that's pretty sucky. But I can understand for their temporary exhibits, you're not allowed to take photos, I think, so I guess drawing is the closest thing to that :/

  2. Awh, shitty! Maybe it was because it looks like you were using ink/markers? From my experience, pencils are usually a safe(r) bet.
