Sketches of Golden Mile Complex

Did 3 sketches at Golden Mile Complex at different days and times.

Huge turn out at this month’s sketchwalk on Saturday, 25 March 2023. So crazy how it developed to this level. It was just my SIMPLE IDEA in Nov 2009 to fix every last Saturday of the month for 4 of us to meet and sketch.

We are the one to coin the word SKETCHWALK too in 2009 and now it’s used all over the world. Really crazy haha

We are heading to Golden Mile Complex on 25 Mar (Sat). The almost 50 years old complex “Little Thailand” will be closed by May 2023. The shops inside the complex are gradually moving out this and next month. Let’s sketch the complex or the shops inside, before it’s gone!
